Four standard answers

A few years ago, the people I raft with started circulating the Four Standard Answers that may be used by whitewater raft guides in response to nearly any question:

  • It depends.
  • About 45 minutes.
  • Just around the next bend.
  • Chest high on a duck.
Figuring out what these answers are good for is left as an exercise for the reader.

Especially the last one. Think about it.
