Standing on the river bank fishing one evening when a young chick game warden came paddling up. She noses her canoe into the bank and stood up.
Her boat scooted out from under her and she hit the drink.
I jumped to help her up and she barked. 'Don't touch me. I'll be fine'
I backed away and she stood up in knee deep water, took one step toward shore when her self inflating life vest went off scaring the crap out of her and she fell over backwards into the water.
This time I got her by the arm and helped her up.
I asked if she was OK, she said 'not really, I was going to check your fishing license but I'm just going to leave'.
I made it all the way through that without laughing, it wasn't easy.
