It’s ingenuity like that what made this country the great land it is today. Uh… **lieu** … why didn’t you just swap paddles with Bill so we wouldn’t be dripped on? ---

Oh wait… then he’d be handling another man’s pooped on paddle. Never mind. ---

I offered it to him but he just shook his head and said _“Naw, osmosis.”_ Remember… High School teacher? ---

I’m thinking children’s book: **Bill and Lieu and the Poo-poo Canoe.** ---

Sorry for the double post…I wanted to say I also think you should have flung that stuff as far as it would go. Which could be another book: **Brown Blobs in the Lake** by Loo Flung Poo. ---

I’m just in awe that you were able to relaxed enough to go with your ass hanging off the edge of a canoe, while Bill the coon-penis-wearing high school teacher balanced on the other side. Me, I can’t go at work if there’s someone else in the bathroom. ---

When I saw this thread, I was ready to grab my Physics and Dynamics textbooks and draw detailed free-body diagrams, complete with equations, to analyze the velocity and acceleration of a canoe as the result of a man pinching a loaf off of the side. … I guess my parents would be pleased to know that all this time I’ve spent in college is paying off. Beautiful post, **lieu**. ---
