On the river with Ozark
River Company.Just to
please…
Surely you have heard some of these on your last paddle
trip on the river!It might
bring back a memory or two, or make you want to go with your friends
again At least we hope it brings a laugh or two.There is a language understood by most everyone at campfires and on
the float trips on the river.We
hope you enjoy…
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?”
