I dont mess with the serius boat questions......'er the serius answers neither, but when me'n Brad wuz ready ta shove off on the Tuckaseegee last Saturday, the Kenneshaw Mountain fella showed us hiz pump. Naw....not one of them hydraulic dongerators like Medicalcare bought Dickey....it wuz a pump ta blow water outta hiz canoe. How bout that fer high technikle stuff?
He unscrewed some nuts off a cover ta show us hiz waterproof battery hole in the back of his foam seat. He hooked the wires up ta this tiny pump bout the size of a Egg McMuffin. The pump wuz glued in the bottom 'n hooked up ta a hose that run up ta a blow hole at the top near the tail end of hiz canoe. He showed us how it worked. My mind raced off in second gear. It reminded me of that time Capt. Ahab 'n Truthful Jack went off chasin' that albino whale all over the Southern Pacific.
I tole him that when the Paddlin' Geezer Canoe Clud went on expedishuns we didnt have no truble with water in the boat (cept that time on the Buffalo 'n that one time on the St. Mary in the high water), but I wondered if hiz pump would suck up 'n blow out......more solid stuff? He looked at me like I wuz nuts.
It wuz jest like that time when the Buddha wuz settin' under the big sycamore tree. It wuz all clear like a hot day in the desert. I wuz okay til I started paddlin' with a bunch of nuts. I drank expensive whiskey....sometimes scotch. I gave money ta charity. I didnt eat grits more'n two 'er three times a week. I didnt have sticky fingers. I wuz able ta leap tall buildings in a single bound.
Well, ya git the idea. I used ta tell the truth.
