So content... Ok. Background. I am tall. Broad shoulders, at the time of this story I still had a swimmers body. In short. I looked good in a wetsuit. However. I was a terrible athlete. Small in HS, and rejected by the jocks. This is important to understand:

So a few years back the family and I go down to Miami to have one of those dolphin experiences that cost a kings ransom. The girls go off to have their swim, and me and the boy settle for the discount experience. Basically playing in a wading pool with a dolphin.

Up comes the ball passing event with flipper. They get the participants to play catch with the dolphin. All is going well until the guy next to me, dolphin fires the ball high and fast. Its basically gonna leave the city.

Not sure exactly what was going through my mind but i casually put my hand up about 8 feet in the air, and one hand catch the ball, and toss it back. Without effort.
