Up the Creek Without A Paddle

I personally do not understand the expression "...up the creek without a paddle." It makes absolutely no sense. Let's run through a possible chain of events, shall we? Okay, so we'll start as I decide to take a trip up the "creek". At this point I run and tell my wife where I'm going and that I will be back in a few hours. I go grab a PB&J and my kayak and head off to the creek. Once I'm there i put in and paddle around for just a few minutes to get myself warmed up for the journey ahead. I start UP the river at a fair pace. After about 1 hour I feel the cold hand of hunger creeping over me. I quickly wip out my PB&J and have my feast. Soon enough, I realize that it is growing dark and I should turn around. Upon turning my sharp 180 degrees the paddle slips from my hand and sinks to the bottom of the dark creek. GREAT!! Now I'm UP the creek without a paddle. What will I do?......I KNOW!!! I will float down... THAT'S RIGHT! Creeks flow down! So, if I'm up the creek I can flow back down. This conversation was completely pointless. So, what should the expression be? "DOWN the creek without a paddle." Because only a complete moron could really get stuck UP the creek without a paddle. But, if you had leave me a message. I'm sure your tale of adventure and heroism would... well, in all honesty I would probably get a good laugh at your expense...
