My sources claim this is true:
A True Story.... if she had killed herself
she'd be a shoe-in for the Darwin Award.
Last summer, down on Lake Isabella, located in the high
desert, an hour east of Bakersfield, California, a blonde
(of course!!), new to boating was having a problem. No
matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't get her brand
new 22-ft. Bayliner to perform.
It wouldn't get on a plane at all, and it was very sluggish
in almost every maneuver, no matter how much power she
applied.
After about an hour of trying to make it go, she putted over to a nearby marina.
Maybe they could tell her what was wrong. A thorough topside check revealed
everything was in perfect working order. The engine ran fine, the outdrive went up and down,
the prop was the correct size and pitch. So, one of the marina guys jumped in the water
to check underneath.
He came up choking on water, he was laughing so hard.
Under the boat, still strapped securely in place, was the
trailer. |
