The parachute joke reminded me of a joke I heard about 2 CIA operatives back
in the 60's who were sent to assassinate a certain Caribbean dictator.  They
spent some time following him and getting to know his schedule, and they
discovered that he arrived at the main government office building punctually
at 8:15 every morning.  So they rented an apartment across the street from
the building, with a window overlooking the entrance.

Shortly after 8:00 the next morning, the operatives were waiting at the window
of the apartment, with their guns poised casually in their hands.  When the
clock reached 8:14, they began looking down the boulevard for the dictator's
limousine--but they did not see it; and when 8:15 arrived, the dictator had
not.  8:20 came and went--no dictator.  8:25--still no dictator.  Finally, at
8:30, when the dictator still had not arrived, one operative (who was, of
course, of <ethnic> extraction) turned to the other and said:

"He's never been late like this before!  I hope nothing happened to him...."
