Gertrude was making her first parachute jump.
The instructor said, "First, you pull the big cord. If it doesn't work, you pull the little cord.
There will be a red pickup truck waiting for you when you land."
Gertrude made her first jump.
She pulled the big cord, the nothing happened, so she pulled the little cord. Still nothing happened.
"That's just great," she muttered. "Now I suppose the red pickup truck won't be there either."
