Things That Amuse Me

Good thing he had a triple wide ramp to work with. :ROFLMAO: Only ever witnessed one submerged Suburban in the years I fished, but did see some very humorous events, such as launching w/o installing drain plugs. One big old boy in coveralls stepped off the dock into a boat while carrying a large, heavy ice chest, poked hole in bottom of boat and was standing, still holding hard on to the ice chest as water rushed in around him. His partner (obviously boat owner) grumbled something unintelligible, to his reply, "well it wasn't a very good boat to begin with". Guess it was a good thing there were not all the telephone cameras back in the day, as there is today.
