While you'd be bangin' his old lady and making fun of him wouldn't you
dipwad...

Nah... I would've bitch slapped him for not turning the engines off .......
I mean how old a 65 are you talking here... too senile to operate a vessel,
to weak to walk?

My old man is 30 years older than that... and if 65... it would make this
dude Donal referred to only 17 years older than me.

Who's saying he was older than his wife... who can say she was 60. Maybe she
looked 60 but was only 50. Maybe her husband was only 4 years older than
me... would that make it OKAY?

He obviously couldn't give a hoot about his wife!!

incompetence...

Donal already satated that the woman was in her 60's...chances are the man
was probably even older, has lost his reaction time, and possibly is already
suffering from dementia. Bitch-slapping people does nothing to improve a
situation, but does tend to inflame others, especially when they perceive
that the elderly are being abused (hint-hint....taking a walk in your own
shoes). I am not defending the man's actions or lack thereof, but different
people react in diffrent ways and he, too, could have been suffering from
shock or disbelief. The thankful part is that there was someone there to
act, there was someone there, to assist the old man, and that no lasting
damage seems to have occurred.

Shock is a weird thing. People act totally out of character when it
strikes. Some people are lucky and have had training to react
immediately...if a person has never been in a bad or dangerous situation,
they may not even realize how bad things really are, even staring at it
right in the face. It's wasy to condemn people. It is much harder to
understand them. It is always better to at least try to understand than to
condemn. (unless of course, you're talking about a few jaded individuals
that we all know...)

If I ever witness such a thing again, I will be less civil. I wonder how

even an attempt to say "thank you".

A thot occurred to me on the subject: maybe the husband was far less
that greatful but could hardly say so. Perhaps he'd worked hard to
murder his wife and make it look like an accident; then you and the lock
keeper intervened and ruined his day. Or perhaps he is approaching
senility and got too confused by the unexpected turn of events to
function properly. Old people do that some times. Don't ask me how I
know but you will too someday .... (c:

He
should have been offered something.

You don't know that he wasn't after all was aid and done. After the man
took his wife home and got over it all, it is very possible he came
back and recompensed the lock keeper.

Somehow, I doubt that he did. He seemed more annoyed at his wife's
"behaviour" than anything else.

If I can find the time, I'll phone the marina tomorrow - and ask.

Yeah... sure Vito.... and just maybe he was overcompensating or trying to

ringer for you! Bwahahahahahahahahhaaaa

Just call him 'Vi' = village idiot (and a very stupid editor and vile by
half).

Cheers MC
