Overheard on the MRT...

Dragonboater A: "I thought 'pre' is 'after'?"

Dragonboater B: "No. 'pre' is 'before'."

Dragonboater A: "Not 'after' meh? I thought it's 'after'."

Dragonboater B: "No, it's 'before'. 'Post' is 'after'."

Dragonboater A (muttering to himself): "Hmmm....'pre'..'pre'...'Prepare'...yeah, should be 'before'."

Dragonboater B (to Dragonboater C): "Actually, is it 'before' or 'after' ah?

Dragonboater A: "Wah lau! I thought you say you know?!"

At this point, I decided to stop listening to spare myself the laughter that would have inevitably killed me. Fortunately, I arrived at my stop already...so all was well. Does too much physical activity really do this to a person's brain? I remember once, I heard that some other dragonboater didn't know that raisins came from grapes...

I'm glad the dragonboaters I know aren't like that. =)
