At the lake
One time I went with a girlriend to her cottage. She took me for a ride on her peddleboat. I really enjoy the water. I love boats but I have a hard time getting on and off. So that day when we came back to shore, actually just before getting to the beach, I threw myself out of the boat. It was a nice day and I wanted to go swimming anywaybut I almost gave my friend a heart attack. After checking that I was ok, that I hadn't fallen out, she realized I had done it on purpose and we both started laughing. It was hilarious. Funny, she never trusted me after that. Another time, I was at the Boy Scout camp, Afew of the adults and I decided to go for a canoe ride. So funny, they took precautions with me, made sure I was in the middle of the canoe with someone in front of me and another in the back of me. They didn't know I could still swim post stroke so yes, again I fell out of the canoe on purpose. One of my co-couselors didn't think this was very funny but when she saw that I was laughing and so were the others, she came around and laughed too. She said I was crazy and made me promess I wouldn't scare her that way again. Anyways, it makes good souvenirs and we still laugh about it when we meet.
