“Why do they say that?”
Moe shrugged, “I’m not sure .”
“Let’s focus on the number of skips,” I said. “What’s
a good number?”
“15 is not bad. 20 is good. 30 is awesome. The
record number of skips ever is 51 .”
“51? And I was so proud of my six skips!”
“Well,” Moe said, “you are just starting out .”
“I think you said you went to a stone skiffing
contest in the United Kingdom. How did it go? Did
you skiff your way to a prize?” I asked.
“I had one great skiff,” said Moe. “It landed me in
fifth place .”
“Out of?”
“Out of a hundred or so skiffers .”
