A tragically hilarious Florida story - in four parts. Some people think they are built for the life on the water, but in reality, they often aren't. They could have a plethora of cheesy signs throughout their home with various lake-and-ocean-related phrases, and it really doesn't mean anything until it's time to really live life on the water. That's especially true at the boat ramp. For the uninitiated, the boat ramp is where the pros and amateurs are separated. It's all fun and games once you get out on the water, but first, you have to tackle the beast that is a subtly sloped slab of concrete into the water. As simple as the process seems, it can puzzle even the sharpest of mortals. And as I say that, I have to clarify that this real life, red-neck superhero is probably
not the sharpest tool in the shed. You'll see what I mean in the video below, where this guy thought that he could step in as a replacement for the boat trailer's winch as they pulled the vessel out of the water. I don't want to spoil anything, so I'll just let you watch part one, coming to us from Crystal River, Florida: https://www.instagram.com/p/C9syONzoUrA/ That Florida man really thought he was Superman, didn't he? As you saw, the man-replaces-winch plan didn't work. In fact, it immediately and horrifically failed. If his failed attempt to hold on tight wasn't enough, I think he took a shot to the family jewels when he fell hard down onto the trailer. So then the trio of Florida men got to thinking how they could get the now "beached" boat back into the water, and you could really see the gears turning. They finally figured out a plan of action, which was to use the trailer to violently scrape and push the boat back into the water: https://www.instagram.com/p/C9tR9bLsvu_/ Alright, not pretty, but mission accomplished. The S.S. Florida Man was back in the water. There's honestly not a lot going on during part three of the hilarious story. This portion is really just man versus winch - one that appears to be broken. Either that, or there's a tremendous user error, which
absolutely can't be ruled out: https://www.instagram.com/p/C9vWg-6Bo9M/ Like I said... not a whole lot going on there (in the video and in the Florida man's brain). But sometimes you have to go through a lull to get to a chaotic, exciting finale. Part four is basically a triumphant comeback story, and because the story took so long to play out, there was an audience that had gathered around to cheer for (and give directions to) the struggling boaters: https://www.instagram.com/p/C9vW2Rwh_YT/ There's no way alcohol was involved in any of that, right? I mean, how'd they even drive home? Shoutout to all of the people in the great, wild state of Florida. What would we all do without the endless entertainment provided by the great citizens of the "Sunshine State?" I'll wait here while you try to give me an answer.
Fisherman Accidentally Pumps $500 Worth Of Gas Into Boat's... Rod Holder
Should this man be operating a boat? According to
FTW , an Australian fisherman made a fool of himself when he pumped a whopping $536 worth of fuel into his boat. Only problem is that he didn't pump the gas into the gas tank, he pumped it into the rod holder. C'mon... Needless to say, gas was pouring out of the back of his boat and they're seen hosing off the concrete from the gas station. I'm not sure how it took him 23 liters to figure it out, but he paid a pretty penny for his lack of awareness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2lb5oOjlVI That being said, a number of commenters had confessed they have committed similar blunders:
"I put 125L in rod holder few weeks back I'll never get high before boating again." "My partner did it years ago with his Kevlacat, but realized after about 50c not $500." "Happened to a mate. He only put about $40 in it down the rod holder into the bilge. He turned the bilge pump on on it caught fire at the bouser. Burnt the rear of the boat before they put it out." "Your not the first and won’t be the last. I feel sorry for your wallet." "More common than you may think, working in the boating game I can tell you it happens way too often." "Not even gonna lie I did that same thing once." Stay safe out on the water, people... sounds like there might be quite a few morons out there. Although, if you want morons, just watch a boat ramp for a few hours... the comedy is unmatched. https://twitter.com/expensive_fails/status/1567093000123351040
Illinois Reporter Captures Hilarious Boat Launch Fail
You gotta have your head on swivel when you're working the news camera... you never know what you might see. Local news reporter Jakob Emerson from WRSP Fox Illinois was doing a segment near Lake Springfield when he takes a peak behind him and notices something a bit peculiar... A 4x4 SINKING in the lake behind him. And when I say sinking, I mean the truck is almost completely submerged in the water. OOF... It was an obvious boat launch fail, which unfortunately for the truck owners, is never NOT hysterical to me. It's the epitome of a really simple, stupid mistake that comes with a BIG price tag. Just imagine the helplessness... watching your truck slowly sink into the water. Especially if it was one of his buddies who forgot to put on the parking brake or something. And you just know whatever news story he was working is nowhere near is funny or compelling as watching a guy's boat sink to the bottom of the lake. TOUGH scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikjT0iP2BLE
