--------------------BONES THE BABY MAKER
----------------------------AN OUTING

Had come into the possession of a lot of old wooden surf boards and a group of us had decided as it was hot to spend Sunday at the Adelaide Torrens Lake, I said that the boards will be with me for the kids to play around with.
We had a great day , the kids had their life jackets and floaties on , but we kept a watch on them just the same, Had a bbq and refreshments with us , every one was as happy as a pig in shite. our wives were enjoying having a natter , but keeping an eye on us men drinking long necks ( 26ounce bottles of beer ).
Getting late in the day with dusk coming on some bright spark, (t'wernt me) suggested paddling up and sinking the Popeye launch, I reckon whoever it was had just seen the war movie “Sink the Bismark.”
Anyhow Bruce, Bones and I set off on the three quarter mile journey shiaking with each other, under 2 City bridges, to where it was moored to do the dastardly deed, The first part of the lake was fairly wide , so we hand paddle out in the centre and under the first bridge, after that it narrows and passes Pinkey flat which is a well known recreation area during daylight hours and well used.
We swung to our left , keeping out a bit from the bank when Bones suddenly swerved in closer, then I noticed him stand up on the board and
he yells out

I KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING !
I KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING !!
CANT YA WAIT TILL ITS DARK

Looking up I could see a couple hastily rearranging themselves on the bank and started laughing , next minute this joker is down by the bank and calling us a few choice names and offering to knock our bloody heads off, Bruce has fallen off his board laughing and bloody near drowned himself before he clambered on again, Bones is telling this joker to come and get us and plashing water at him, when he received a direct hit with a rock, still egging him on, he smartly back paddled out of harms way and back to where Bruce who by this time had stopped spluttering and I were out of range. The fun settled down , we continued on to Popeye , hit it with and empty bottle, and declared it sunk.
Being dark when we got back we copped a tongue lashing from our wives , luckily Wilbur had things all ready to depart , we loaded the 3 boards and beat a hasty retreat, -----------Just in case.
