    Surf’s Up

    A tourist in Hawaii is amazed at how healthy and invigorated he feels after just a few days into visiting the islands…

    He strikes up a conversation with one of the locals while they are wading out into the crystal clear, warm surf on yet another perfect island day. “I just cant get over how beautiful this place is,” the tourist says excitedly, “I feel great! I haven’t felt this young and healthy in years! Island life is fantastic!”

    The local says, “I know what you mean! Take me for instance. When I came here I was totally bald, didn’t have any teeth and I couldn’t even walk…and look at me now!”

    The tourist looks at him and says, Wow, that’s amazing! How long have you been here?”

    And the local says, “Oh, I was born here.”

    Me and a buddy used to sometimes “surf” down old roofs (before we tore them off for reroofing) on plastic ridge vents. We would turn the ridge vents over and come down from the top.

    You needed a roof that transitioned down to a porch. Even then we had to spot each other to make sure we didn’t fly off the house.

    Castano’s depiction of Volcano Surfing is wholly inaccurate.

    Those Trovan stones might grow up into creatures like Korg, Thor’s rocky buddy!

    There always those that seem to defy deadly phenomenon until they experience the “whoops”.

    I’ve seen a photo of a volcano erupting with lightning around the top. Anyone surfing that volcano is screwed, lighting strike, lava, pyroclast…

    A drunk wakes up in jail on New Years Eve

    He asks the first police officer he sees, “Why am I here?”

    The cop replies, “For drinking.”

    “Great!” slurs the man. “When do we start?”
