This is a passage from a story that I had to read for American Literature. Personaly I think that this is perfect. <br /><br /> <!--QuoteBegin--><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><div class='genmed'><b>QUOTE</b></div></td></tr><tr><td class='quote'><!--QuoteEBegin--> "For these reasons, and for others, neither the oiler nor the correspondent was fond of rowing at this time.  The correspondent wondered ingenuosly how in the name of all that was sane could there be people who thought it amusing to row a boat. It was not an amusement to row a boat, it was a diabolical punishment, and even a genius of mental aberrations could never conclude that it was anything but a horror to the muscles and a crime against the back." </td></tr></table><br /><br />the story was <i>The Open Boat</i> by Stephen Crane

The key phrase here is "in the name of all that was sane."<br /><br />Sanity is not required for what we do .<br /><br />Rick

Nice passage.<br /><br />Many people can't in the name of all that is sane, figure out how people will willingly sit in an imaginary boat and go nowhere - fast!<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Paul Flack
