Water

There are some people who leave impressions not so lasting as the imprint of an oar upon the water.

Once when I was a kid and we went on vacation, my brother Erik and I tipped over a canoe.  As we struggled he kept screaming, "We're going to die!  We're going to die!"  I told him we weren't going to do.  We had life vests.  And that meant we would live forever.  Otherwise they wouldn't be called life vests.  They would be called, "Gonna try to help you live" vests.

I wonder why people don't walk around wearing those things all the time.
