I've done that. Actually many times! I do remember the one time I went to a dunk tank & they had nobody to sit there but a 7 or 8 year old girl wanted to try it & mom said okay so up she went & when she got dunked she went under and came up shocked and wanted out! So a few seconds later a lady holding a child asked me, "Would you want to get dunked?!" I asked something like "What? You guys don't have anybody? "She said no and I acted like I had to think about it but in a moment or so I said, "Sure, why not?" And of course as soon as I saw the tank I knew I was gonna try and get in there! I got dunked a few times and then it was over as they were closing. So I went back to my old truck, covered my seat with a large plastic bag and drove home drenched!
I got dunked in a water tank a few years ago at my work for comic relief, a big charity event in the UK. There were two really hot female, co-workers organising an event so I jokingly mentioned about getting a dunk tank or stocks to soak people with and they liked the idea and said that they were gonna look into it and they wanted me to go in it. I made out I wasnt keen and acted like they forced me into it but really I was very happy to do it and let them feel like they got one over on me.
One the day, I was kind a nervous and acted like I wanted to back out but the girls persuaded me to do it and I got dunked, as did a few others, and they loved dropping me in the water and soaking me and I loved their reactions and how ecstatic they were.
I went in spontaneously at an Independence Day festival several years ago. The guy on the seat had been in there for about 40 minutes and the next person was a no-show. I asked him about trading places once about 20 minutes into his shift, and I could tell he was ready to leave when I wondered by 20 minutes later to dunk him some more. I gave him hand/finger signals to indicate switching places and he shook his head. Talk about an adrenaline rush! I think I left my shoes on, emptied the pockets on my long khaki cargo shorts, and peeled off my 2-button shirt to keep it dry. I'd not been shirtless in public like that before OR dunked in a large setting. It was one of the best nights of my life! People who knew me were surprised to see me up there doing something so spontaneous, so shirtless, and so soaked and happy.
I did challenge a lady once to see who could dunk the then current dunkee where whoever dunked him first then the other would have to take his place. . I told her I'd pay for the balls & she could throw first. Her first was.... okay but I was pretty good and I got close on the first shot and then her 2nd shot was close! I threw my 2nd and it was...close but then her third was dead on! I heard the ball hit the target, and SPLASH! Oh, NO! I initially thought but I always liked getting dunked anyway so I grinned and started emptying my pockets and walked over to pay for my lost bet. As I climbed up she had a smart assed smirk on her face & I just grinned, sat down and got ready. My feet were in the water and for a little while I watched some feeble attempts by other players and then I noticed her buying three balls and I just KNEW! She didn't hit the target on her first throw but she did on the second. I enjoyed the drop into the cold water, my clothes going from dry to soaked in a nano second and then I was up above the water to hear the cheers and jeers! I climbed back up on the seat and knowing I had' to say something I blurted, "I'd rather be lucky than good anyday!" And of course I paid for that comment as she then dunked me a second time to the absolute delight of everybody! I got dunked quite a few times that day and enjoyed every one of them! Sadly she never did get in the tank and I've never seen her again but it was WORTH IT ! ! !
Love you, too
