Many complaints
There do seem to be a lot of disgusted grunts on the soundtrack Baydog. It's not entirely clear to me whether these are coming from Laser sailors on the lake or from clients at the restaurant expressing opinions about the soup. With your vast experience in both sailing and restaurant management, I was wondering whether you could shed some light on this question?
At :33 and :45, "many complaints". Also I detected a baby gurgling with pureed peas in its mouth. Definitely some yelling on the course, and ultimately the lady liked her soup, much to the delight of the chef, who was peeking out the kitchen door.
But what are those choking grunting noises at :21, :25 and :35? Are they from a Laser sailor sailing in bad air, or a restaurant client gagging on the clams casino?
It was actually Dieter the dishwasher, who was made to go unclog the toilet in the Ladies' room. It's always the Ladies' room.
I am gagging myself, just thinking about it. Poor Dieter.
Wah, on one of our bike trips to Switzerland we stayed in Gandria at this place which looks to be not too far from where the video was taken. I wish I were there now - one of the best places on earth to ride a bike, or to sail a Laser I would guess.
I want to know why everyone's going in different directions. It looks like the start of the Three Bridge Fiasco.
"I want to know why everyone's going in different directions."
You sound just like my wife.
Where is the bouncy castle?
The bouncy castle is on Lake Garda. This is Lake Lugano. Not the same place at all. Please try and keep up with the rest of the class, Bonnie.
Well they look the same.
What Bonnie is saying....
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky,1
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
Quite right Doc. Once you've seen one of those European lakes you've seen them all.
