Ok so i played in a 2nd ed game a long time ago high level game when i joined it. i played a 19 Wizard we had a house rule system about enchating non permanet magic items so dont start quoteing rules at me :P
Anyway one day we where trying to get from one side of a lake to another and we could not go around it and we didn't want to chance a teleport so we went to the boat master of the city who tried to overprice the cost of a trip across the lake. so i decided to make an airship, the Theif got us a boat and i enchanted it but i failed on the "fly" spell so all i could do was make it float... so i recast the Fly on myself and pushed this now floating ship across the lake... anyway years later the gameing group got back together and we where talking about that adventure when my friend said "wait, you had the boat why did you enchant it? why not just use it as it was to get across the lake?" at this point i relised that i had done all that enchanting for nothing and was quite put out about it... we all had a good laugh and the rogue told me " well sometimes a boat is just a boat... but sometimes a boat is a flying ship of death."
i felt someone might just laugh at the whole thing and had to share it :)
