"Canoe Float Trip, Frequently Heard Comments"

• Paddling the river, bloop, down he goes!  Bloop, up he comes!  “Uh oh, where are his glasses…”
•  “My ligher’s wet.  Have you got one?”
•  “Oh great!  My wallet is soaked!”
•  “Who brought the toilet paper?”
•  “Uh, oh, I picked up the wrong Dry Bag.  They were all the same color!”
•  “Did you get the bread out of the back of the truck?”
•  “Has anyone have any extra sunglasses?”
•  Seen digging through the cooler, “Who’s bright idea was it to bring ice cream bars?”
•  “I can drink water from the ice in the cooler… can’t I?”
•  “Uh oh.  My shoe is stuck in the sand.  It’s GONE!”
•  “I broke my paddle!”  Now what?!”

• Looking around the camp fire after dinner, with a flashlight, “Wow! Raccoon eyes everywhere. All around us!  Look!”
•  “Darn Batteries!  My light’s dead.  How many hours am I supposed to get on each one of these?  One, half?!”
•  Thinking to yourself at night, everyone else asleep. “…it sounds like a snoring orchestra…

• Second day, heard coming out of a tent on a cold morning, “Is there any coffee yet?”
•  Also hollered out of a tent on a cold morning, “ITS COLD!”
• “I spilled in the easiest part of the river!”  “What happened?”  “I looked back at you!”
•  “Is this the beach we are going to stop at?”
•  “Everybody turn your heads!”
• “It wasn’t my fault!  It was your fault!  If you would have just listened to me…”
•  “Where are we?  How far have we gone?  Are we close yet?”
•  “Yes, I hear that rapid up ahead?  Is this the big one?”
• “Where is Joe?”  “He is way back there.”  “He can’t be!  He has the cooler!”  “He should be with us!”  “What is he doing, running off?!”
•  “Are they in front of us or behind us?”
•  After a long trip, “I am tired of paddling!  My butt hurts!”  (Take that as a hint…)
•  The outfitter waiting for the renter and looking at his watch, “Where are they?”
• After every trip, “Man, I’m hungry!”
