OK, Mr. Super Expert, I fucked up my post and left that out of level 1. I 
guess I fail class management. My, but you are in a tizzy! You wouldn't 
be a dive instructor, would you???

Wouldn't bother me a bit. Would not bother me to canned from a skydiver 
class or a mountain climbing class. But it's good to know that if I got 
canned, I could just go to you and hand you some cash.

 I realize that in your world that, as long as you got the cash in your 
pocket, you would certify a cactus to dive, I would rather be canned then 
sent out to kill myself. How many death sentences have YOU handed out Mr. 
Super Dive Instructor Expert, sir?

The same number who take the home skydiving course and the home 
whitewater kayaking course. Don't hear those people whining, do you?
