Kayaking And Yakking On About It

I’m working at a kayak rental hut by a quiet lake. A family is picking up their rental gear. The dad looks over the waiver form.

Dad: “Why do we have to sign all this? We’re just paddling. It’s not like we’re cliff diving.”

Me: “It’s standard liability stuff, just in case.”

Dad: “So what, if a squirrel jumps on my kayak and I fall in, you’re not responsible?”

Me: “Exactly.” 

Dad: “That’s ridiculous. I’ve signed fewer papers buying a car.”

Me: “Well, cars don’t capsize when your kid sees a frog and screams.”
