Skydiving and Random News

A first time skydiver in South Carolina almost died. His instructor did die. Sometime right after they jumped off the plane the instructor just stopped responding. It's a freak accident that makes skydiving seem way scarier that it already seems. Luckily, the man who was a virgin skydiver is in the Army and had emergency training. So he calmly guided himself to the ground and started CPR on the already dead instructor. Needless to say, the Army private will not being going skydiving again. Will you?

Professor to attractive female student: "My you are beautiful and I do love your hair like that. Listen class, I am partial to girls. Women are here to look pretty. A girl should take care of herself and get dressed and do her hair--especially for my class. If you want an A in my course, you're a girl, and you read the assigned chapters before class."Professor continues to flirt with everything that moves and has breasts.Drexel University, Business Law 201
Overheard by a guy who isn't getting an A because he's a dude* Let's see if the department chair...or any Drexel Profs...read this blog. Seriously, if this is true it's time for Professor Happy to move to the farm in the country.
