Pretty maids all in a row. What does that sentence connote? Are they standing side by side by side? Are they on a participants in a regatta? Are they engaged in a huge cat fight?

I think it should be the woman's choice to row or wade.

What about those little paddle boats that you operate by peddlin with your feet? How come they're not a choice? Maybe I just want to sit on the dock with my feet in the water. How come that's not a choice? This damned two party system sucks.

I was cleaning fish and soiled my jacket. Roe vs. Suede.

Don, you should also remember "Never drink the water downhill from the outhouse." Or, I will mention from my own personal experience, from a well at the bottom of a hill full of graves.

And then there was the cat who ate a piece of cheese and waited right outside the mouse's hole—with baited breath.

Another piece of cowboy wisdom:   Never squat with your spurs on.

Artbrooks, don't be dismayed over your flounder, this is a good thing. It has been my experience that if you're fishing for flounder it's best to stay on the beach or the dock or you'll scare them away from your baited hook.

You put the roe on the cracker and wade in.

Row verses wade:

wade in the water
wade, it feels just fine
wade in the water
if you're the wading kind.

Wade verses row:

row, baby, row
We're getting nowhere at this rate
row, baby, row
You know how I hates to be late

When we were kids, floating down the river on an inner tube was great fun.

The world has never been the same since the invention of tubeless tires.

I do a pretty fair crawl stroke, thereby dodging the whole issue. . . .

I wade ok, but I tend to flounder when the water gets too deep - I'm just not very good at getting into the swim of things. Can I choose to paddle rather than row? Somehow, getting two of those things going in the same direction at the same time has always been a problem for me.

My ex-husband's first name is Wade. But my first name isn't Row {Rowena}.

This must be another Wade. If not, whatever happened that she's suing him for, happened after me so it's his business and none of mine.

Indeed! And seeing as how our species is SO endangered, we surely don't want to interfere with any spawning!

"Wade in the water, children," but row around the roe.

It's a serious issue! Wading disturbs the fish roe, so carefully spawned by the fishes in the stream.
Row? Please use spelecheque!

I don't really understand why people get their panties in big wads over this issue. Why does it have to be row versus wade at all? Sometimes it's nice to wade if the water's not too deep. Other times it's too deep to wade so you're better off rowing. The two are not mutually exclusive, you know.

And what about the other options? Sailing is nice. Motorboats go a lot faster than rowing or wading. Sometimes it's nice to just float down a lazy stream in an innertube. And what about good old-fashioned swimming?   

I think the whole thing is way overblown.
