Can’t even begin to count the sheer number of hours me and my friends would do this when we were kids. Either this, or trying to skip stones across the pond. Both of which you just don’t see kids doing all that much these days…..
I once heard my friend Jim Post* tell an audience (I’ll let you guess where) that if you drop a quarter in a toilet, the sound it makes is “Beloit”.
*You may not have heard of him, but you have heard him; he was half of Friend & Lover (“I think it’s so groovy now/That people are finally getting together/I think it’s wonderful and how/That people are finally getting together”).

Caves are too scary for a 6yo boy anyway; you’ll never know what wild creatures reside therein.

First time I heard this joke (yes, “heard”, not read) it was a long shaggy dog story about a sailor who created a “Cushmaker”.

When I was a kid, I thought all caves had wooden walks in them.

I didn’t comment yesterday because I was out in the rain. And yet, I feel fine.

Poor rocks. 11,000 years, since the last ice age, to get out of the water and into the sun and, spelunk, it’s back to the bottom.

When I was 14, my best friend and I rolled a 150-pound boulder off a 200-foot cliff into the water. When it hit, it sounded like glass breaking.

Cavin try walking in that water with rocks, at least you are not throwing glass that breaks into shards.
