How Do You Drive This Thing?
Jack and Paddy were on a mission. “It’s time we learned how to use the canoe,” Jack said.
“I think you’re right,” replied Paddy. “It’s been 2 years since we bought the darn thing.”
So, the grabbed the paddles, life jackets and the canoe. The marched it all down to the town dock and set everything up. Paddy climbed in, then Jack. They began to paddle.
“I don’t think this is working,” said Paddy.
“You’re right,” said Jack. “We aren’t going anywhere. I wonder what we’re doing wrong?”
After a moment of thinking Paddy said “Maybe we’re not supposed to sit facing each other!”
So, after rearranging themselves in the canoe the started to paddle again. Once again, there was no movement of the canoe.
“This is weird,” said Paddy.
“Yeah,” said Jack. “Maybe we should both be facing in the same direction.”
So Paddy turned around to face the same direction as Jack. More paddling. Still no movement.
“Canoeing is just plain dumb!” exclaimed Paddy. “I don’t know why anyone thinks this is fun.”
As they were wondering what to do next, Farmer Bill wandered by.
“Howdy fellas,” he said. “Don’t you fellas realize that you’re not supposed to sit in a canoe until it’s in the water?”
