Water is found in many places, such as oceans, lakes, f milk, stocks, on the knees, on the brain and recently on the bars. One becomes accustomed to having water in oceans, lakes and stocks, but water on the knee is different. However, this condition is easily cured by wearing pumps. If you suspect you have water on the brain, have a small hole bored in your head. If water runs out you have water on the brain. If noth ing comes out you have no brains.
