I overheard you playing with your cousins on the trampoline this morning, pretending you were all skydiving.
While this may work fine in an imaginary situation, for future reference:
If you jump out of a plane and forget your parachute, it is NOT good form to ask another falling skydiver if you can borrow theirs for a few minutes, and then give it back to them after you've landed, so then they can land with it, too. Gravity doesn't work that way.
Thank you.
GRAVITY: It's the Law!

Bashing children's imaginations, again?
ReplyDeleteWhere would we be if Einstein's father had kept reminding him that space and time were constants?
"Gravity doesn't work that way" ?
ReplyDeleteBut it does ON A TRAMPOLINE. You should know that. (Are you sure you're a real doctor?)
It never hurts to ask. At that point, you really don't have anything to lose anyway.
