Break A Leg

Jason was out on the deck, grilling hamburgers.  He watched as Josh tied a jump rope to the deck rail and then to his waist. It was when Josh began to climb up onto the railing that Jason intervened...

Jason:  Josh, what are you doing?
Josh:  I am going to jump off the deck.
Jason:  No. You aren't.
Josh:  Why, will I die?
Jason:  Probably not, but you could break your arm or leg.
Josh:  I can live with that.

jump  noun, 1) a spring or leap, verb, 2) to lift the feet off the ground into the air, to leap 3) to rise suddenly
