I am the proud owner of a Paddle Boat.
A Paddle Boat is a small lake-going craft that appeals to guys like me who shrugged off that remaining last shred of self-respect the first time we made the decision to wear dockers, flip flops, and an Aerosmith t-shirt to the mall. The only other people who really like them are young children who, face it, have no sense of dignity at all.
Paddle boats come in a variety of sizes and configurations, but they all have three things in common:
1. They float (more or less).
2. You propel them through the water by pedalling like a three-year-old on a floating (more or less) tricycle.
3. The odds are pretty good that your wife will not want to be seen paddle-boating around on the lake with you.
