I use to be at a marina where there was a patio/snack bar right next to the
launch ramp.. On weekend I would join a couple friends for morning coffee
and watch the fun on the ramp..

I don't think there is any story that I would be surprised at..

However. This one isn't funny, it was sad to me..

This fellow backs down the ramp with his BIG SUV and trailer with a pair of
JetSki .. He has one teen and several pre teen kids with him.. You would
think this was a happy family, except during the entire operation he has a
cell phone up to his ear and is chatting with someone on the phone.. Anytime
his kids said anything, you would stop with the cell phone long enough to
scold them, then back on the phone, 'chat and chuckle!'

Believe it or not he managed to launch the Jetskies without ever putting the
cell phone down. The kids didn't seem to be getting anything out of the
whole thing..

From where I was sitting I couldn't see if you continued his cell phone chat
when he mounted the Jetski.. I can only speculate.
