[Bud Martz]

Can't imagine what this guy was thinking. Wonder how much it would cost to fix this one? Use the link to view the clip.

Wow, now thats funny. i wonder is he siezed it up or not?

 

[Tony Payne]

What I think is funnier is that the person with the camera knew the guy was making a potentially serious and costly mistake, and instead decided it was "funnier" to film it instead of offering assistance...



I really don't think it was that funny, the guy obviously had a "plan" to deal with his problem...bad plan, yes...funny? no.

You just can't help some people.



Reminds me of the following:



If overweight, you can go on a diet.



If ugly, you can get plastic surgery.



If unschooled (or under educated), you can gain more education.



Stupid lasts forever. No known cure.

I was told once that ANYBODY can buy a boat. Money not Intelligence is the determining factor

Sooner, Right mouse click the link and select "Save Target As" and save the file to your hard drive. You will need Quick Time to view the movie. It's worth it.



Wow, I hope he wasn't expecting to make an insurance claim. I doubt the boat made it home since he didn't bother to lock the cupler down on the ball.

sometimes its better to let the uneducated learn through stupidity.it will run him round $2g to fix his screwup..

[Larry Harp]

WHAT A MO-RON. Doesn't it make you feel good knowing that on any weekend the lake is full of those guys. :>0

Poor fellow, he has to be new to boating. I would say that he would be done with the boating seen if that motor is fried. Being in such of a hurry with good cause, at least he did hook up his safty chains. It would have been nice if somebody would have "HELPED" him with his dilemma. I would have laught if it was one of those jet skis.

I am not able to see this as the computer I am on does not have quicktime...........



Slounds like a good one!!!

 

[TrepMan]

You gotta figure the guy taping this is USED to seeing idiots at the ramp and tapes them all from the way he shot this! I still don't understand why we don't MANDATE a boating license? Any moron with enough CASH can buy a 60-90mph boat and put all of us in jeopardy on the water! And this from a guy who HATES Big governement!!! LOL

 

[Larry Harp]

Trep, I've often wondered that same thing about children.

[TrepMan]

Harpo - Don't get this libertarian started on the heated discussion about who SHOULD be allowed to procreate!!! LOL



If you can't afford to support your family, DON'T!!

 

[Larry Harp]

I just remember the day my wife and I took our daughter home, neither one of us could believe that it was legal to posess such a beautiful and fragile thing and be as ignorant as we were about babies. But we figured it out....somehow.
