Book Water
Posted: Tue Sep 28, 2004 4:54 am
This is a phenomenon I will never understand.
As your leaving the dock at book you do the little saftey speil (hands,arm,feet legs inside the boat at all times), yet people still end up with their hand in the water. My favorite phrase has become "Mantengan sus manos dentro del barco" cause it scares the crap out of people when this blonde haired blue eyed white chick who won't shut up about the damn houses starts talking in spanish.
Anyways to my story, A lady a few days ago gets on my boat, she is sooooo overheated and sweating profusely. We're going along and as we make our way past the patchwork quilt. She does the first most disgusting thing, she takes a cloth baby diper and dips it in the water and starts dabbing herself with it. Now I've already told her to keep her hands inside 3 times now and so I tell her please not to do that because the water is not clean. Then what does she do.... She sicks her hand in and pulls it out with her hand cupped...brings it to her lips and drinks it. :shock: I wanted to throw up right then and there. I could not believe that she did it, let alone survived it. I mean that water is gross first off it hasn't been cleaned in lord knows how long, it's chlorinated, there are fish and crawdads in it, not to mention the amount of duck and crow feces. YUCK even imagining it now makes me gag.
This is a favorite of mine cause the kid actually listens. A small child sticks their hands in the water. I tell her not to do that it's green for a reason. She asks why. I simply tell her it's cause it's icky. For the rest of the trip she keeps her hand in the air trying not to touch anything. The trip ends she asks me should she wash her hand. all I say is probably and she bolts to the bathroom( I mean it she was fast) she came back later and thanked me for telling her it was icky.
