When I was very small, one Thanksgiving, I had to go out on an emergency trip with my dad to buy a gravy boat because ours broke. I asked him what a gravy boat was and he told me it was a little boat that floats in the gravy, and when it goes bad, the boat sinks. I believed that until I was about 12 or 13.
