The Worst Summer Vacation

This has honestly been one of the best summers of my life!  But not everyone can boast such a good summer "vaca."

As we drove today we caught a radio station that had a game show playing called, "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me."  The game was to guess which of the three stories was an actual event.  See if you can do it!

First story is about a woman vacationing in the Mediterranean that get mistaken for a whale as she swims.  A sudden and painful end comes to her vaca as she gets harpooned by a fisherman. 

Second, is a man taking a quick fishing vacation in Florida.  He gets cornered by alligators in the cabin he's rented and survives on the kitchen table for 48 hours until rescuers come.  (But, maybe the worst part of this torture is that the entire time the TV was tuned to a foreign station.) 

And third, a man and his wife go on a cruise (not so bad).  While the wife goes shopping, the man soaks in the sun on the beach.  He awakes later to see his cruise ship off on the horizon!  So he hires a fisherman to take him to the boat.  But half way to the ship the fishing boat breaks down.  They call the Coast Guard (yea, Uncle Steve!) for a rescue.  By the time the coast guard rescues the man his cruise ship has gone!  The man is desperate and hires a sightseeing helicopter to fly him to the ship and his waiting wife.  He's lowered to the deck, runs to room 235 and meets Mr. & Mrs. Jones...it turns out that the ship he was focused on was the wrong boat!  His wife and his cruise ship were still in the bay...

Only one of these is true. 
Your job is to pick it out!
(You'll have to come back tomorrow to get the answer!)

P.S.  40% of America's population live within a day's drive of Chambersburg, PA.  Yea, and just think if we hadn't gone on this cross-country trip, you'd never even know that!  Think of all the useless facts we've given you over this summer - what will you do without us?  Anyone up for a winter in Europe?

  1. Chambersburg, PA--yet another site with Singleton family connections! Yes, my sisters and I all went to Camp Robin Hood, a girls' camp on the outskirts of Chambersburg (since closed, alas). Several camper friends I remember were from Gettysburg, and I also remember family trips to the battlefields. Enjoy the visit, C family, and we hope to see you all soon!!
