(13,781 posts)1 - When I was a teenager I was a Counselor In Training at a summer camp. A group went on a canoe overnight. There was one male counselor with a female counselor, me and a bunch of girls. The male counselor was supposed to sleep under a canoe and we had to big tents for the rest of us. It started to rain hard and he insisted on being let into a tent. So the female counselor put all of the older girls and me and her in one tent and a few of the younger girls and him in the other tent. I got the spot at the place where the tent wall slanted to the ground. Of course, touching me, it leaked big time. As the girl next to me complained, "you feel like the inside of a canteloupe!"

It's our <don't remember> anniversary. What's better than a cruise? Turns out the boat was a converted fishing boat and we slept with ten other people in the bow. My head was in a narrow space at the point of the ship. One of our companions was the loudest snorer I've ever heard.
