Eric,
One funny thing is that no one has mentioned the way sky divers party. They tend to do things "over the edge" and once the jumping is done, its time to break out the party materials!
One time when I was living in Germany it was too cloudy to jump on Saturday so we all went to the "swimbad" (the sports pavilion) and all took in a swim, jacuzzi and sauna. Everyone went "natural" (no clothes) and it was a good time. Afterwards two of the German ladies pulled me aside during dinner and told me that I was the first Ami (American) to hang with the locals and not get embarrased without clothing.
They did some "dirt diving" with me later that night at the hotel and we had a very good time. Needless to say I jumped at that DZ for a long time!  Now you can get your minds out of the gutter but sky divers party hard! (if you want more information, look here: http://www.joea.com/parachuting.htm its the bottom photo!) Would post the photo here but Z would delete it!
