There was a very negative man who decided one day he wanted to go skydiving. He was always expecting the worst in life, but in spite of this he thought this was doable and since it has always been a desire of his he made an appointment.
The instructor told him it was very easy, just count to 10 and pull the ripcord. If for any reason it did not deploy reach over on the other side and pull the backup. The truck would be there to pick him up when he landed.
So he jumped from the plane with perfect form and counted to 10. He pulled the first ripcord, nothing happened. So he pulled the backup, again, nothing. In aggravation he muttered, "With my luck I bet the truck won't even be there to pick me up!"
