Miss Independent
One year I went on a date on the 4th of July. After dinner, we went out on the lake in a canoe to watch fireworks. It was a great idea until the young macho me felt like I needed to impress her by refusing to let her help me life the large canoe. I put her in it while it was still on the grass and continued to manhandle the boat into the water to show how strong I was. The next morning, I had to call in sick to work because my back muscles were so strained that I couldn’t get out of bed.
