Boatside Humor

Once when I was about twentysomething, Uncle Bill and "Willy" took me out on the boat to go fishing. It was hot and we were drinking Budweisers. I remember getting kind of seasick, and Willy noticed that I looked a bit queasy. Uncle Bill and cousin Willy had a real laugh. In retrospect it was probably pretty funny, but at the time I thought I was invincible, so I was trying of course to hide the fact. In the end, I now see the humor in it and since then I rarely get seasick.
