Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for July 14, 2012

It’s not the fall that kills you. It’s the sudden stop.

That’s why bungee jumping never caught on in the Old West… They hooked the rope around the wrong portion of your anatomy.

I thought the last thing you wanted to hear was, “Did I tie the right knot?”

Two drips dropping.

doesn’t help – when you fall into water from a great height it’s just like concrete. Dead, just as dead!

“Hey, I thought it was MY turn!”“Oops!”

“Thank God I was wrong!”

“You can thank Him personally in two minutes!”

This trip is on me!

Never bungee jumped, but in this case, I think “Wasn’t the rope supposed to be tied to your feet?” applies!

On top of that, and even worse, was that rope tied like a harness across his crotch?

BUNGEE WEDGEE!

Hi dukedoug. Of course, that makes sense when you’re skydiving, but bungee jumping’s different. At least when you’re going off a bridge and aiming to touch the water below.

It probably will be the last thing you hear.

It’s the Moebius bungee cord.

The latest nominee for the Darwin Award.

auto-removal of inferior genes from the pool. 100% effective.

Keesa you poppa goobye!

Bungee jumping is an IQ test. If you do it, you failed.

Oh but there is a follow up….called suicide…..

Coincidentally, I was reading some of the early NS strips just yesterday, and whaddaya know — this strip is a reprint from May ’92: http://www.gocomics.com/nonsequitur/1992/05/26

Definitely the LAST thing he’ll hear.

Guy on bridge……..plant your feet real firm until he comes back up.

That would be the last thing you wil hear.

Better start flapping…fast!

It is about to be your tuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrnnnnnnnnnn……..

I don’t know if this is true or a folk tale, but some guy high on LSD, back in the sixties had a vision that if he, himself, jumped through the “Golden Gates” he could save humanity, and end war, etc……He did and he lived….Evidently he was convinced he’d saved the world…..Last thing I’d want to hear is, ….“What, it’s only how deep?…….awe…..crap……ya gettin’ this on tape?”

Hmm, more like a bad belay in climbing, but the real secret in bungee is to make sure the cord is exactly the same length as the distance from launch, to the ground! It guarantees a “singular” life experience!

I figured the last thing you’d want to hear is snap.

If it’s a bridge, you hurry up and jump off the other side.

IF there’s a recoil, at least he can say goodby to his plummeting friend on his way back up.

If at first you don’t succeed, you shouldn’t go bungee jumping.

“What do I do with this end?”

All the other guy has to do is immediately jump off the other side.
