Just imagine, you're hanging out with your drinking buddies at home, you're snowed in and can't find your ice fishing gear. Grab the rest of the beer, the tea pot and the broom from the closet. You're so blind from drinking a puck would be too small to see. That's where the kettle comes in. You take a few whacks at it, keep missing (plus, you need the broom to hold you up. Instead, you set up your empties down the way and use the kettle as a bowling ball. The snow keeps getting in the way, so you have another one of your pickled buddies sweep the lane so the kettle can make it down the end (which you can't see anyway. Now what...all the bottles are broken. Go back to the house, grab a fifth of whatever is in the cupboard. No more bottles, no worries. Make a circle and try to get as close as you can. Now, let's invite our friends from the next pond and make it a team event.
That's how curling started. Gotta go, the log rolling finals are starting!
