An experienced canoeist is taking his work-mate out for a first trip in an open. The experienced canoeist, obviously, is sat in the stern: his pal, the novice, is in the bow seat. As the current picks up and the waves get bigger, the novice turns around and asks, apprehensively, "If the boat tips over, will we fall out?"
"No!" replies the other, "We'll still be friends!"
