Word to the Water-Wize
I love to swim. When I was a kid my parents had to chase me out to the deep end like a kid-shaped crocodile, catch me and drag me kicking-and-screaming, out of the water. Granted, they don't have to do that anymore... if I stay past closing time, it's the lifeguard's job!

*^^* A-hem.

Anyway... my love for water is equalled by my fear of heights. Hence, the diving board.

Terrified of getting on that stupid thing. Make myself do it, in a frantic attempt at self-improvement. Go to the end...

And an old man hollers at the top of his lungs, directly behind me:
"DON'T HOLD YOUR NOSE! HUM!! HUUUMM!"

As if the voice of the Almighty himself was shouting for me to bloody well get on with it, and provide musical accompaniment to boot!

So, I fell off the diving board...

humming...

and discovered a strange secret as I re-surfaced...

If you hum through your nose as you dive, you don't get water up your nose. No holding, no blowing, no spluttering... just hum. Turns out the hollering madman was an aquatics instructor some time before World War I...

So, yeah... I'm not dead. The humming thing did the trick.
