Damning the Skipping of Stones in the Stream by a fellow named Skippy

There once was a fellow named Skippy.  He did not like it when the children skipped stones in a nice little stream near his apartment.  So Skippy started a movement called DamnSkipping and he told everyone that if they skipped stones in the stream, that they were mentally maladjusted and that they were not very neat people.  That said, if I could skip a stone and it landed on the other side of the stream, it impressed poor Skippy and he decided that skipping stones was only ok if you could skip them across the stream.  So poor Skippy lives today in his apartment with his binoculars watching to see if any of the children can cross the stream with their skipping stones.  Its not much of a life, I admit, but for Skippy it was the only way to be remembered.  Thanks!
