3. Amazing, he's 84 and surfs??

[Arkansas Granny]

12. He fell asleep on his surfboard. Does that count as surfing?

How do you fall asleep on a surfboard? :shrug:

[txwhitedove]

14. Hmm, he was exhausted after paddling so far out? If I even got a

board on the water, I would have to call it surfing too.

8. Wait, I remember him telling this story once in the 70s or 80s. Are you sure this is new news?

The account at the link is vague, but I distinctly remember him telling Merv Griffin about this when I was a kid.

11. Apparently porpoises have forgiven Dick for his excruciating accent in Mary Poppins.
