Iden dangers
Guys, don't wear a bikini bathing suit; people
may seem to be staring at you and admiring
your physique, but they're laushins on the
inside.
Don't swim near the fishing pier. Those
sharks you saw the fishermen chumming with
bloody fish heads are gonna get pretty ticked off
when the fishermen run out of fish heads, and
you don't want to be an after-dinner snack.
Don't pee in the water. If a giant fish came
into your house and relieved himself on your
Lazy Boy, you'd be mad, wouldn't you?
Don't go out without suntan lotion on your
feet. Nikes and a top o'. the foot sunburn just
don't mix.
Finally, don't go into the water until 30
minutes after you eat. I don't know why, but my
mother used to tell me that, and I figured I'd
pass on the advice. (I think it attracts jellyfish or
something.)
I know there are a lot of rules for summertime
fun, but think of all the mischief and fun I
didn't mention. If you're lucky, you may even
go out one night and see a lightning storm over
the ocean, with Zeus throwing fiery thunderbolts
at Poseidon. (That's "see Jupiter throwing fiery
thunderbolts at Neptune," for all you Roman
mythology types.) If you're lucky enough to see
a natural phenomenon like that, your summer
will be made.
Have a happy summer; next fall, the squirrels
and I will be back!
