Yeah, anyone who would dare to actually experiment, have fun,

Like sticking ones tongue in a live light socket

There's nothing like experience for a teacher. Do you shelter your
kids
from climbing trees because they may get a boo-boo? Do you not let
them
run for fear of a scraped knee when they fall? Do you not let them
swim
for fear of drowning? Do you watch their every move to make sure they
don't do something you think will harm them or get them dirty?
Sheesh.

I know I would tell my kids not to kiss a shark, do not stick your
hand
into the prop while it is turning, or dive into unknown water without
checking the depth of the area to make sure the entire area is deep
enough for diving.

There are many things where the consequences is so great, that you do
not want your children to learn through experience. Kissing or
harassing a shark, even a Nurse Shark, is one that falls into
catagory.
I am surprised that anyone would disagree, but in rec.boats, I learn
something new everyday.

Not doing the big things comes from common sense, by letting them do
the little things, they learn. Just because a guy decides to kiss a
shark, which he's probably done before, seeing how he has considerable
experience with sharks, doesn't make him an idiot.

I would bet if you asked the guy who kissed the shark if he thought he
was an idiot i bet he would say yes. I would also guess he is not going
to be kissing any other sharks.

Anyone with real experience with Sharks would tell you not to harass or
kiss a shark.

I'd bet he may say he shouldn't have done it, possibly say it was
foolish, but I doubt he'd say he was an idiot.

idâ€§iâ€§otâ€‚ /ËˆÉªdiÉ™t/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled
Pronunciation[id-ee-uht] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation

â€“noun 1. an utterly foolish or senseless person.
2. Psychology. a person of the lowest order in a former classification
of mental retardation, having a mental age of less than three years old
and an intelligence quotient under 25.

Have you ever done things that afterward, you wish you hadn't? If not,
you must have been wrapped in bubble wrap all of YOUR life. If so, do
you consider yourself "utterly foolish" or having a mental age of less
than 3 years old and an IQ under 25?

When me and my brothers were kids, we lived in the country. We were
also quite wild, spent most of our time in the woods by ourselves, or
down at the river. I can name many, many things that we did that
weren't exactly brilliant, but sure was fun! My uncle, who raised us,
was pretty damned good at the butterfly bandage, I'll tell you that!
All three of us became productive citizens, all three of us in fields
demanding technical skills and knowledge. Hardly "idiots".

Bubble wrap? Your newest catch phrase, Kevin? You should really try to
be original once in a while. It will make you more of "a man"!

And Kevin wonders why he is still the "King"????

Sounds like Garrison Keillor's version of Norwegian bachelor farmers. :-)

Around the mid-west, you hear gross mis-pronunciations like "Worsh" ,
or "Woish" instead of "wash". Aluminum, amazingly turns into "alumium",
Starter ie starter-motor, is now a "Storter" And a lot of people love
to grab a pole and "feesh"

Inch can be pronounced "heench" as in " a half a heench", and (I love
this one), I suppose that instead of saying "1/8th of a mile" it's so
much easier to say " a half a quarter..."

What does "get bit" mean - in English.

Same grammar book as "If I hadn't boughten that car, I'd have more
money
now".

So it's an Atlanta thing? I'm south of Kevin, but I'm not really in
The
South. I guess "fixin'" is a word, too.

It's an upstate NY thing, too. We have a large contingent of people who
were
born here, never left here, but have confederate flag stickers all over
their pickup trucks. They say "boughten", "crick" (instead of creek),
"acrost from my house", etc. Puttin' food by - there's another, instead
of
"canning". Puttin' food by where? By the dishes?

They usually pass their can of beer to another person before making the

Nice sentence structure, expert. Try again.

Geez John, I know you don't believe that, but keep repeating it and
someone may. It's an urban legend. It never happened. It does, however,
show the power of advertising.

Shoot, another good laugh ruined!

I stand corrected, thanks.

Whats wrong with using a lawn mower as a hedge trimmer? Where is your
sense of adventure? Tommorrow go out and give it a try, you can't keep
yourself tied up in bubble wrap and enjoy life. ;)

As I was wrong with the initial comment, I may do it just so I can sue and
lend credibility to my statement. The hard part is deciding which finger(s)
to part with.

Oh, damn, how stupid ARE you? Do you not realize, that in almost any
area, people use local dialect, sayings, etc.? In everyday
conversation, do you always use proper grammar, sentence structure, and
strict Old English? What a putz.

I think bassy is trying to emulate Eisboch/Richard. A case can be made
that they are indeed the same person.

Kevin has probably bit hitting the "schnapps whiskey" again
