Top 10 signs you have fallen out of the raft on the Ocoee

Well we made it back from our annual pilgrimage to Benton TN & the nearby Ocoee River. Every year we witness other rafters being thrown out of the raft & some of our crew as well. Luckily, I haven't been thrown out since my college days, thanks in part to luck & a couple blondes. While on the river in a fairly calm section our crew wondered what the top 10 signs you have ben thrown out of the raft might be. In no particular order I'm gonna give it a shot.
1. your guide yells " Swim you fucking idiot"
2. the person next to you is now looking down at you shaking their head
3. you are suddenly rehydrating & you didn't bring a bottle of water on the boat
4. some jack ass just hit you in the head with a bag full of rope
5. it has suddenly gotten so cold that your balls have shrunk up inside your body
6. everyone is trying to give you their paddle & you don't know why
7. you find a pair of Revo sunglasses on the bottom of the river
8. you feel like you are in the pinball game called "River Rocks"
9. you find yourself laying on the shore with some fat kid poking you while saying "Mr, are you dead?"
10. you are buying the 1st round at Log Cabin Inn & everybody is laughing at you
