Yes I did, I jumped off a pier and went into 32.1 degree water and raised $10,826 american dollars for a women's shelter. The swim back from the pier to land was around one half a mile. You could either get in a boat and ride back or swim. If you swam you earned extra money for charity which I did swim. Only 11 of us did and we split the swim pot for our charities. Oh and I was the only woman who swan back. 
I had so much fun.

32 degrees celsius is about the same as my bath water. Glad you had fun though and raised all that cash.

Okay, is 32 Fahrenheit 0 in Celsius?
I guessed it was fahrenheit. Was pulling your leg.

Brilliant!
The only thing I've done for charity is have sex with the Mrs.
I once smiled at a Big Issue seller.

I second first that.
Well done! A heroic achievement. You'll never catch me doing something like that.
I was talking to roscoff - sorry.
But well done too Dr Mato!
My friends that jumped but would not swim
The people too chicken to jump that watched at the bar on the big lake.
At least they jumped! You couldn't get me to do even that!

Yes, this I know but it is my personality to wallow in my accomplishments. Even if they consist of lots of things like a swim in freezing water. A lady has her pride you know.

Oh God - you sound like my wife!
Well done Doc. I trust you celebrated your success in the bar afterwards?
