Boating = Bruises

We have a motto in our house involving boating - If you don't come back sore and bruised, you didn't have fun.  Well, ladies and gentlement of the jury, I submit the following evidence for your consideration:

After boating...no folks, that is not discoloration in the photo.  While skiing 2 weeks ago, I pulled a muscle in my forearm.  I did not give it long enough to heal, so when I went skiing again, I tore a ligament.  I bruised all the way from my elbow up to the middle of my hand.  Perty, ain't it!
