   A Norwegian and a Swedish parachutist were arguing about who was best
   at folding a parachute. Unable to resolve their dispute on the ground,
   they decided to go up in the plane and judge by the mid-air performance
   of their chutes. The Swede jumped first, pulled the cord, and started
   floating toward the earth.  The Norwegian jumped, pulled the cord ---
   and nothing happened.  He then carefully cut away his main canopy and
   pulled the cord on his reserve --- nothing.  In a matter of seconds he
   rocketed past the Swede, reaching terminal velocity.

   "Oh," shouted the Swede, cutting away his main, "So yoo van too race ?!"
