I'm betting a certain someone here has done something similar, and is

Heh.

Anyway, alls well that ends well - nobody got hurt and that's the
important part.

Although Archie's launch ramp was closed for a while. The recovery was
just as funny - I don't know where the boat owners found the tow guy
but he was a freakin' moron. Tried to do a straight pull without a
snatch block or two to keep the truck from drifting.


Did you offer the tow truck driver your advice/help, or did you just sit
on your ass, laughing your head off.

Perhaps someday you'll have an accident with one of your boats, one that
causes serious damage but no injuries. Take some photos, so we can all
laugh at you.

Spoofer alert! I've wished ill harm and death on most people in
rec.boats.

We were talking about accidents being funny. Not about people being

There was a show called ' that's incredible ' that was on TV of next
to no time some three decades ago. There was this guy who would stand
in the road and jump while a car would pass under at 60 MPH. They
showed him getting a couple of broken legs. I couldn't turn it off
fast enough.

Heh - typical launch ramp escapades. Launch the boat without taking
off the bow line or the tie down straps, didn't lock the emergency
brake and away they go.

Even funnier - they panicked, started the engine and manuevered the
boat into one of the empty slips, then cut the bow line and tie downs
and the whole thing sank in 25 feet of water - all while drifting
under the docks and boats.

I've been boating since I was 12 and I've seen just about everything
there is to see at a launch ramp, but it never fails to amuse me when
things like this happen.


Why does it amuse you? What is funny about such a misfortune happening
to others? Tell us, when you see someone having problems on a ramp, do
you offer to help, or are you like that p.o.s. herring...you just sit
there and watch and laugh?


You are amused by other people's illnesses, asshole.


Depends on who the other people are...certainly am not amused by the
problems of boaters on the highway or ramp.


You said it all. You are one sorry ass POS, Krause.
