Never Inapproproate

Did you read about the 92 year old woman from New Hampshire who celebrated her birthday by skydiving from a plane at 4500 meters? It's quite an accomplishment, and she apparently made a clean jump because her instructor and much younger tandem jumper/instructor said she had both perfect form and a precise landing, That makes her the oldest parachute jumper in the world.

But wait! This oldie jumper, Jane Bockstruck, now says she doesn't know what made her do it and has no memory of the jump itself. Haha Given that Jane also says she has been married 7 times, I think she may have lost her mind even before her memory loss set it. This jump was more dangerous than normal ones. I think a 92 year old hip breaks rather easily, even with shorter falls than those from 4500 meters. Perhaps one would have to be out of her mind to make a jump at that age..or perhaps doing the "inappropriate" may really be what we need in life to make us last as long as Jane has.

I have some ideas for the more famous among us to undertake in imitation of the true grit of Jane B. How about these people doing these "inappropriate" things.
* The Kardashian sisters- they might actually try to take a real job and leave TV performances to people who have talent.
* Sarah Palin- Now that she has resigned as Governor of Alaska, how about going away, forgetting about the Presidency and leaving the rest of us alone.
* Britney Spears- She could be daring and take a chance on a car seat for her baby instead of driving with him on her lap.
* Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown- Both should box professionally instead of beating up each other for free.
* Tom Cruise- try to resurrect his failed acting career while stop jumping on couches and preaching scientology to we heathens.
* Ashton Kutcher- Try to find a speck of talent to justify all the gushing about you by the media* Obama- Stop acting like a king and start behaving like a president.
* George Bush- George should go back to school. Probably starting in kindergarten would be the best strategy for him.
* Me- To stop writing all this nonsense.
