Saturday was Homecoming – and the Faculty Staff picnic – at UA and I had been asked to take a shift in the dunk tank. Which completely made sense to anyone that knows me.
We got there early and had a nice lunch with my colleagues. At 12:30, I got ready and hopped into the tank.
And proceeded to get dunked 14 times.
If you’ve never been in a dunk tank, let me tell you that it is sudden. One moment you are sitting there
– and the next you are underwater.
I ended taking 2 shifts since the guy that was supposed to go after me didn’t show. I laughed pretty much the whole time – it was a lot of fun.
It was raining pretty good by the time I finished up and unlike the rest of the crowd, I didn’t really care. I had already been soaked to the skin.
14 times!
