Love on the Lake

There is an age old question "How do porcupines make love?" The answer "Very carefully!" There is also an old saw that asks "What is the worst way to make love?" That answer is "Standing up in a canoe". But now we hear from the former executive director of the Canadian Canoe Museum who advocates a horizontal position. He seems to be an expert as his first date with his wife was a seven week canoe trip in Northern Canada. He offers a few words of caution:
-Sound carries particularly well across still water.
-Keep some body parts visible above the gunwhale as an empty canoe raises alarm.
-Black flies and mosquitoes are most active around twilight.
Another author described "A Canadian is somebody who knows how to make love in a canoe". Finally, three words to remember "center of gravity" - there you have it, Eh?
