Some folks just refuse to read instructions or think it will never happen to them. Years back a guy I knew, wanted to test run a small outboard, so he squirted some dish detergent into the water pickup as soon as the motor started....he stated that would lube the pump so it did not get harmed during the run !

Love it.
Last October I was out walking and saw a squirrel pop its head out of the top of a pumpkin. It must have thought was in heaven when it found all those yummy pumpkin seeds free for the taking.

Had a similar thing happen around her some years back. Drunk driver running at high speed at night into a no wake zone and crashed into multiple docks and other boats. Unfortunately two were killed and numerous injuries.

i've been on those ferries many times, huge. gotta be really drunk to almost hit one.
Kinda like the driver that did not see the hugh train in front of him ! We live in an active RR area. A few times a week, people run unto these giant locomotives, claiming they didn't see them.......
