Rowboat

A kid I know lost both his parents in an accident. To take his mind off it for a while, I took him on a boating trip. I wanted to get a boat with an engine, but he wanted to row.
"Ah" I said "You're an oar fan"

New Bike

A man came back from a long business trip to find that his son had a new $300 mountain bike. "How'd you get that, son?" "By hiking." "Hiking?" "Yeah, every night, Mom's boss came over and gave me $20 to take a hike."
