Re: Funny now, not so funny then...Or, funny then too.

.... watching a canoe (with a weeks gear packed in it) float out into a lake - I KNEW that I'd tied off the bow line - but apparently that knowledge didn't get in the way of reality. Nice "refreshing" swim (Star Lake in northern NY state in early May) to get the canoe while the locals laughed. When I returned (a nice shade of blue, I might add) the one fella asked "why didn't ya borrow one of our canoes?" and tossed me a blanket and a beer.
