Customer: What makes this one the best?
Clerk: Well, see here, this is the rip cord.
Customer: Yeah?
Clerk: When you pull that, the parachute opens.
Customer: What’s this other cord?
Clerk: That’s the reserve chute, in case the first one doesn’t open, you have a back-up.
Customer: What’s the third cord for?
Clerk: That’s the reserve, reserve chute. The back-up to the back-up.
