Chef Jim Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 My uncle was drafted in to the Army and sent to Vietnam. When he left, he left his speedboat in my dad's care. A year later, my uncle gets back from 'Nam, and dad greets him with "Hey...remember your boat?" My father took the boat out on the Niagara river, and somehow, in a manner that no one has ever really understood, he managed to send the empty boat over the Falls. Pretty sure that's not how my uncle wanted his boat driven. (And it's still fun to ask my uncle "Hey, remember your boat?" in front of dad.) How many people can say they have a boat that went over the Falls? Maybe a million I don't know but it's still a great cocktail party story. Almost as good as the one about me ruining my mother's grand piano.

Almost as good as the one about me ruining my mother's grand piano. I used to know someone who sent a piano over the Falls, too. I'm pretty sure that anything smaller than a car has gone over the Falls at one time or another.

Went inside and covered it with a tarp. It rained and warped the soundboard. Kind of wish we went it over the falls. Forty years later and I still hear about it.
