Gunging - Skydiving (gambling)


When a Skydiver does their 100th jump they get Gunged which means they have something disgusting poured all over them, and in the worst case they have their clothes removed, they are tied down and the stuff they have poured on them includes all sorts of Food scraps and unmentionables that have been allowed to fester in the sun ever since the last person got Gunged. Mmmm Yum! An Old Skydiving Tradition.
