SKI-KING LIVES
The summer brings many various experiences and pleasures
to the high school and college students. Among these are swimming,
boating and tanning.
Hpwever, another sport which is on the climb in the popularity
polls is skiing. The lakes are filled each year with hosts of wooden
footed people, being skimmed along the surface of the water by
means of a boat or, if you are a native Indian, a canoe.
The majority of amphibious humans do not know how it feels
to be lifted out of the water by a tremendous surge unless they
are caught while skinny-dipping by the fuzz. The fuzz don’t know
either, so here is a paragraph written by an active member of the
Badin Combination Skiing and Skinny-Dippin’ Club, (BCSSDC),
Miss Petrol Potgutledge.
Dear People that don’t know how to ski,
How are y’all? Fine, I hope. I just thought I’d drop you a
letter and say hi, so Hi.
Also, I’d like to invite y’all to our BCSSDC Sub-Distnct Ski-in,
to be held June 6, 1969, at dawn. Here, you will see a full scale
mock-up of the Normandy invasion on skis.
Friends, it is just marvelous to know how to ski. To feel
the tug of horsepower on your arms is more fun than lovm up
to a scarecrow on Halloween night.
I hope all of y’all will try it this summer, but be careful
because there are several of us who know how to ski backwards
and we can’t see out of the back of our heads.
Bye,
Petrol Potgutledge
