    In fact, this is just a test.

    Firstly, I can't swim. I perpetually sink. The last time I attempted, I was on a nice yaught off the coast of the Dominican with some friends and they gave us all the usual skin-diving stuff and we all jumped into the water and soon realized I was in water over my head, and I pannicked. I called out to one of the guys onboard to help me. He told me to swim to the stern, I screamed like a baby, and he pulled me out with ONE HAND. He then told me to grab a Rum and wait for everyone to return to the vessel after seeing all the fish, dolphins, and beauty under water.

    I had another rum.

    to be able to qualify for the Police Department.
    I had no problems back then.

    I certainly could never do that now. But I COULD help you drink some of that rum.

    Grin.. Growing up I was an avid swimmer. Then, in 1981, I had to swim several laps in
    an Olympic pool with all of my clothes on to be able to qualify for the Police Department.
    I had no problems back then.
