Parachute
"Hello? Is this Parachute Training Inc?"
"Yes sir. Are you looking to book a jump?"
"No, no. I can't say I've ever fancied parachuting. No head for heights, really, and well.... oh god, the trees are so tiny!"
"Oh, perhaps you'd like to book a gift for a friend?"
"Ah, no. All my friends CRRRRUUSHHHHHpop on the ground."
"I think we lost the signal for a moment there - there's a lot of noise. I didn't quite hear that last part."
"Oh I just CRHHSSSSSHHHH not my friends I'm ringing for. It's me."
"But I thought you said you didn't want to book a jump?"
"I don't CCRRRUUSHHHHHHH"
"Sorry sir, you keep breaking up. Are you in a car?"
"A plane actually, and that's what I'm ringing about. I'm a bit pushed for time and I wondered if you could explain to me how to use a parachute?"
