Risk Taker

Four panel cartoon. Panel 1. Two robots - Pascal and Basic - are at the top of a hill. Basic is on a skateboard. Pascal: First time on a skateboard, Basic? Basic: Sure. How hard can it be? Panel 2. Basic is starting down the hill. Pascal, laughing: I'll notify the rescue squad. Basic: Ha. Funny guy. Okay, here goes... Whoo hoooo! Panel 3. Pascal looks on in horror as Basic wipes out off screen. Sound effect: Crassshhh!! Panel 4. Basic at the bottom of the hill, face down in the pavement. Pascal has come down the hill, and is emitting mild concern. Basic, in tortured lettering: I have discovered how hard it can, in fact, be. Pascal: Yeah. Rescue squad's on the way.

That is exactly how my only attempt at skate boarding went.

Indeed. I can ski but I cannot snowboard. I can skate but I cannot skateboard. At least now, at my ripe old age, I know this.
