If you haven't been scared on occasion while boating in the ocean
then
you either haven't been boating in the ocean, or your actual time
boating in the ocean has been minimal. The only experienced seaman
who
haven't been frightened on occasion by the ocean either are really
stupid or dead.
I don't think I have ever felt like I am going to crap in my pants for
any reason, on the sea or on land.
Come on up to the barn, I'll hand you a rope with a 1600 pound
firecracker on the other end. If you don't get all tingley inside, you
won't have to worry cause it would only mean you were already dead
I have to ask, what is a 1600 lb firecracker? If you mean a horse, I
love horses, but I do approach an unknown horse with caution, just so he
can get used to me.
n the ocean, I have been in gale
force winds, have felt very queasy, and have even been sea sick, but
no,
I have never felt like I am going to crap in my pants. If you think
everyone reacts to stressful situations by being frightened or feeling
like they are going to crap in their pants, you are incorrect.
However, I have come to a conclusion about these animals. Everyone
says that they can sense fear and if you are afraid, you are screwed.
I disagree even while scared half to death, if you keep your head and
stick to your training the horse will react to that more strongly...
and you can win the war. But you got to stand in there, you gotta'
play hurt or your finished...
Animals can smell fear, and react accordingly. So while you might be
apprehensive, I don't think you are putting out the same pheromones one
puts out when you are actually afraid.
Everyone is impressed with the bravery "Reggie" exhibits here. So brave,
he won't even tell us what brand, model, and year of boat he allegedly
drives. Now that's bravery.
Harry, you're confusing 'bravery' with 'stupidity'. You want, way too
much,
to know private, personal information about Reggie. Your motives can be
naught but nefarious.
Is that why you post a picture here of the TV you purchased for your wife as
a Christmas gift?
Are you buying her a couch next Christmas?
If she really wanted a couch, I would say sure.
