Larry Procter's parachuting Scandhoovians joke brought this one to mind:


A new 'chutist had just jumped from the plane at 10,000 feet, and soon
discovered that all his lines were hopelessly tangled. At about 5,000
feet, still struggling, he noticed someone coming up from the ground at
the same speed as he was going towards the ground. As they passed each
other at about 3,000 feet, the 'chutist yells:

HEY! DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT PARACHUTES?

The reply came, fading towards the end:

NO! DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT COLEMAN STOVES?

*Apologies to parachutists, those of Scandinavian descent, The Coleman
Mfg. Co., and campers.
