Rules of the lake

So this past weekend, I was hangimg out on Lake Travis with a few friends chugging down a few cold ones when one of my friends saw something odd in the water. I leaned over the boat to look down and .....BLOP! There went my two hundred dollar pair of sunglasses!

DAMMIT!

My friend exclaimed " Rules of the lake TG, never lean over open water with your sunglasses on"

So... what's your rules of the lake? Or ocean? :mad:

1. I have a "rule of sunglasses"

Never buy a pair that are $200 dollars, they might get lost.

Sorry - I imagine Rx sunglasses are costly...

Don't you know any friendly divers?

5. There is a similar rule that applies to cars

"Take off your glasses before sticking your head out the window."

Learned that one the hard way, too. D'oh!

8. Do not canoe where you know there are alligators

and

1)There are too many people in the canoe

2)It is 95 degrees out

3)A fifth of gin, tonic water and ice was consumed in 1 hour

Don't ask, it wasn't pretty :-).

10. Never go on a charter boat in 4 ft waves after a night of drinking

because inevitably, you'll get sick, rush to the side of the boat, knock an expensive pole in the water, and :puke: :blush:

At least I knew the owner of the boat, it would have been even more embarassing if it had been a stranger. Even though he said not to worry about the pole, we replaced it.
