I have a friend who only repacks his chute once per year, generally
around the beginning of his contest season. His plan if questioned by
the FAA is as follows:

FAA: This parachute is out of date.

Pilot: That's not a parachute; it's a seat cushion.

FAA: It clearly states it's a parachute, and I see by the repack card
that it is out of date.

Pilot: When I get it repacked, it will be a parachute again. For now,
it's a seat cushion. And if I want to jump out of an aircraft with
only a seat cushion attached to my bottom, that's my business, not
yours.
