Bubba and Jed took parachuting lessons, and were arguing
about who was best at folding a parachute.
Unable to resolve their dispute on the ground, they
decided to go up in a plane and judge by the midair
performance of their parachutes.
Bubba jumped first, pulled his cord, and started floating
down towards the earth.
Then Jed jumped, pulled his cord and nothing happened; he

he whizzed past Bubba, plummeting like a stone.
"Oh," shouted the Jed, yanking off his harness, "so ya
wanna race, do ya?!"

An office technician got a call from a user. The user told the tech that her computer was not working. She described the problem and the tech concluded that the computer needed to be brought in and serviced.

He told her to "Unplug the power cord and bring it up here and I will fix it."

The first guy jumped and bounced at the end of the cord, but when he came back up his partner noticed that he had some cuts and scratches.
Unfortunately, his partner was unable to catch him, so he fell again, bounced and came back up. This time, he not only had some cuts and scratches, but he was bruised and bleeding as well.
Again his partner missed him, so he fell yet again and bounced back up and this time, he was really a mess. On top of everything else, he now had a few broken bones and was almost unconscious.
