WOMBAT
the road they went. Luckily for them there wasn't a sign saying "ROAD CLOSED UNDER CONSTRUCTION". If there had been, then they'd all have had to get out of Bills racing car and lift it to turn around, seeing that the stearing wheel never worked. So down the road they went...faster and faster and faster.
"You'd better slow down old mate' said Wom 'we must be going at least 100 MPH already."
"Caynt tell' said Bill 'the speedometer don't work, either does the brakes."
"Put the gearstick in reverse" yelled Bonny.
"What gearstick ??" Said Bill.
Faster and faster they went until.................
as we were about to fly out into Flathead Lake. we were saved because of bonny's lasso. No, Bonny didn't lasso anything but unknown to us all, it was dangling out of Bill's trunk and luck would have it, just as we passed the sign saying, "slow danger ahead", the lasso caught that sign and sent us spinning into the parking lot at The Flathead lake. Everyone gave a big sigh of relief. Bill said, Boy that was to close for comfort. Elyse speaks up, "what about your invigorating dip," Bill. Bill says, well I was driving up to Missoula for a Bike trip on the Great Divide, when I came up on this very lot. Everyone was down on that pier jumping in and having a good time so I decided I needed a break. I put on my swin suit and walked right out and was ready to jump in when I decided to dip my toe in the water. Gad....That was the coldest water I had ever seen and there was no way I was going into that water. Not wanting to go back without a dip and not having the nerve to jump in, I just walked up to this kid and said "push me in", he said, what? I said, "PUSH ME IN!" and with that, him and his buddy proceed, and pushed me in. The minute I hit that water it took my breath, and I came out so fast I barely got wet. Brrrr that was the coldest water I had ever seen. And now the rest......
Paul Harvey.........................(Side note) the dip in the Lake is a true story but was on my way to Whitefish for a bike expedition on the Great Divide.
