Well, tomorrow's the last day of my deco course. For now, instead of working my exams, this is what comes to me . . .

Saturated Shakespeare

Alas! Now hear my dive lament:
Although I made a slow ascent
I fear my S.I. was misspent.
Of nanobots therefore I dreamt,
To deconstruct each microbubble
Before it grew to cause me trouble.
But morning’s light finds me still bent!
Harsh mistress 'twas that taught me this:
Pushed limits can't make ignorance bliss.


-Bryan

PS No divers (and no goats) were harmed in the composing of this doggerel.
 
Too funny!

I would suggest not applying the same creativity to your exams . . . :D
 
Thanks, TS&M. Completed the course today. Had I known everything involved, I might never have undertaken it. So I'm quite pleased. To paraphrase Merle Travis and T.Ernie Ford . . .

You breathe three thousand pounds, whaddya get?
Another day colder and deeper and wet.
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't stop
I owe my soul to the local dive shop.
 
Oh, behave.
 
I likes it. :)
 
TDG - nice sigline! I'm a tad older than you, and I have come to believe that there's lots more CRS (can't remember ****) on the menu.
 
Oh, and Speaking of Buckingham’s (Fleetwood Mac’s) classic “Go Insane” (which we weren't) . . . Video at YouTube - Lindsey Buckingham "Go Insane" Acoustic Live 3/23/07 is AMAZING! So of course I’m immediately motivated to scr*w with the lyrics while waiting for a call from home. Ergo:

Two kinds of DCS on this dive:
Type I, Type II
I lost my pony on this dive
Because I did not use it
So I go into deke
Like I always do
And I call the dive
It's a lot like you.
