Dragon Boat Humor This joke was written by Mad Paddlers team captain, Esther Wallace for the team coach:
Two 90-year-old women, Esther and Penny had been friends all of their lives. When it was clear that Esther was dying, Penny visited her every day. One day Penny said, "Esther, we both love paddling and have for most of our lives, please do me one favor: When you get to Heaven, somehow you must let me know if there's dragon boating there." Esther looked up at Penny from her deathbed and said, "Penny, you?ve been my friend for many years. If it's at all possible, I'll do this favor for you." Shortly after that, Esther passed on. A few nights later, Penny was awakened from a sound sleep by a blinding flash of white light and a voice calling out to her, "Penny, Penny..." "Who is it?", asked Penny, sitting up suddenly. "Who is it?" "Penny ? it's me, Esther." "You're not Esther. Esther just died." "I'm telling you, it's me, Esther!" insisted the voice. "Esther! Where are you?" "In Heaven," replied Esther. "I have some really good news and a little bad news." "Tell me the good news first" said Penny. "The good news," Esther said, "is that there's dragon boating in Heaven. Better yet, the water is always perfect and all our old paddling buddies who died before us are here, too. Better than that, we're all young again. Better still, it's always springtime, and it never rains or snows. And best of all, we can paddle all we want, and we never get tired." "That's fantastic," said Penny. "It's beyond my wildest dreams! So what's the bad news?" "You're steering next Tuesday."
