You do realize that due to total mass and density versus air-drag on the
falling body, that the skydiver is going to hit the ground first,
_followed_ by the urine?


Not if I get the damned reserve chute open. And if I don't, I'm not likely
to care what hit first.

Yellow water, yellow water, is put in the can.
Seal it tightly, keep it sprightly, for the beer men once again.


Looks like someone watched Waterworld.
