ungrateful lump of metal!!!
it attacked me!
the boat attacked me!!
i spent all saturday morning scrubbing the build up dirt off our boat.
cleaned it inside and out.
made it all shiny and pretty and how does it repay me??? it knocks me out!! (well nearly)
sunday morning we took the boat out for a run and went into the harbour. god knows how long its been sitting there not getting any attention. so we went to the fish market and on the way back dad's at the wheel and really opened her up. we're flying along and it started to get pretty choppy and dads keys were sittin on the dash. they're about to go flying so he reached for them and at the same time we caught the wash from a river cat. dad was mid-catch for the keys and didn't have time to grab the throttle so we hit the wave full force. as we flew up the first wave my feet left the deck (only a tiny bit) but i came down and was thrown forward as the boat came down into the second wave. i hit the windscreen type thing (imagine a convertible with the top off) between my chin and my throat and then fell backwards into a chair.
i'm actually pretty lucky cos if i hit it any further forward i would have broken my jaw or something. any further back and it would have crushed my windpipe... i hit it pretty damn hard. dad had stopped the boat by then and i'm flopped over the seat (oh so gracefully) a little dazed and very much in pain and i can kinda hear mum going nuts in the back and dad panicking and talking a million miles an hour all feeling guilty like. and i've turned to him and said 'i'm ok... good thing my face is so fat... it cushioned the blow'.
so now i'm all bruised and sore and have a triple chin instead of a double chin... so unfair!
stoopid boat *grumbles* that's the last time i'm washing you!!!! *shakin fist*

Oh damn boat!
Although, this is an intesting way of saying how you were really throttled at the neck by someone who will remain nameless, instead of wanting to incriminate them... lol
Nah, just kidding, but in fact it was not the boats fault! You should really blame it on the river cat! And I thought that they got them because they produce no wake... *confused*!!
