I like that one, too. I remember getting swamped while river rafting, barely
escaping with my life, lying on the shore gasping for breath and saying NOTHING
was going to get me back into that river, when I heard a very polite but
pathetic voice requesting, "Help!" Once the two of us dragged ourselves back
onto shore, I laughed because I realized I just had an "adventure"!
And yes, I have been back down the same river since.
