Dangers of Driving
My Uncle Adrian Hunt from Rushoon is a salt-of-the-earth guy, and was a hard-working fisherman all his life. He's also been known to make the occasional slip of the tongue, such as when he sang the following line in the traditional Irish song "Black Velvet Band" : "...and her eyes hung over her sho-oul-der!" (instead of "And her hair, it hung over her shoulder"). My favourite Uncle Adrian story, however, occurred when the family was discussing the dangers of driving on the Burin Peninsula. After hearing a news story on Here and Now about a car accident, my uncle (who never drove) got a pensive look, and made the statement, "Yes, b'y, driving is pretty dangerous...you can't take your eyes of the road for five minutes!" - David Roche Athens, Ohio (originally from Conception Bay South, NL) Submitted By: NULL
