Row, row, row your boats
Gently down the stream
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
We can do without your teams.

It is said that San Francisco and East Bay rowing teams use oar handles for seats.

Uncomfortable for most people - but they seem to like it...

Why do these rowers want to talk to prepubescent children about sex?

Isn't that perverted?

LOL!
"Don't Say Gay Law"

The Law doesn't mention the word "Gay" (nor Sodomite - the correct word), but just does not allow teachers to instruct children (I believe less than 10 years old) about sexual perversion.
I have no doubt that the East Bay perverts don't like this obstacle to their grooming designs.
