We had CPR in high school health class. |
They taught us how to put condoms on bananas.
As I've run across no use for CPR or avoiding banana pregnancies, I'm not sure which education was more valid.

I don't know how you go through life NOT knowing how to swim. I think my perspective might be slanted because I grew up very very close to a big lake and we went out on it a lot.
I don't get the people that can't swim that go out on boats, especially the ones that don't wear their PFD's. Aire, you may get rid of that MIL more quickly than you think. DO YOU ever go out on the boat with her?

Also - confirm this story. I heard this from the guys who went to the boys' Catholic HS in Green Bay, as well as a person who I worked with here who went to one in Chicago...
... if the Catholic schools had swimming pools (yes, I'm a poet, and I know it), why did they make the students swim naked? A legit question.

Oh god someone else take this. It's too easy for me.

We have gone out on the boat with her.
I figure her own brilliance will solve any problems.

I was raised a Presbyterian - fun was frowned upon.
