Matt SargentNewsgroups: rec.sport.rowing Subject: A Letter from a Loving "Rowing" Spouse The below message was e-mailed from the coxswain of one of our eights at the San Diego Rowing Club to her husband who was in another San Diego boat. Both boats conducted a competitive "practice" head race this morning with the husband losing out to the wife. The below message is from the wife to the husband. Just a warning to all you who try to get your "significant other" into rowing:
Just writing to remind you that you will have to do the dishes tonight since your boat lost this morning. Maybe you can draft the roommate, Mr. O'Neil, into helping you. Nice attempt at snaking me on the turns but you can't make those kinds of moves without the muscle to back them up. A couple theories - maybe there were too many beer-swilling types in the stern and next time you should spread the rowers whose name start w/ "O' " thru the boat more evenly; or, maybe, Dodd and Mikey are just a stronger bow pair than you and John. Have a nice day honey!
