oh damn...

 

[Discombobul8]

Yep. they say that buying a boat is like throwing money into the ocean . Ha et voila....so it is.

When you can stand in the shower with cold water running over your head and you can reach over and flush $100 bills down the toilet and feel good about it, only then are you ready to get an ocean going boat

70s

 

[Discombobul8]

Ok so i can do the first of those. Cold showers dont do me that much harm, but as for the flushing bit....well i guess i have a ways to go before owning an ocean going boat. So i will stick with my Mastercraft X-2, lake boat, and still throw money away slowly. Although i get quite a lot of satisfaction wakeboarding i would still get a lot of satisfaction cruising on a Gin Palace like the one above.

H -O - L - Y - - -S - H - I - T- ! - ! - ! - ! - !

[Discombobul8]

But the buyer had not done the final signing yet. So ergo it is the problem of the seller and the crane people. HAha

What's even as bad is Loook at those two in the Rubber Life Perserver's and look at all that Gas and Oil ring they are just on the Edge of it. If you look closely you can see plenty of Fuel and oil ontop of the water, they are swimming out of it in that picture.
Somebody just got FIRED! Only one that got a real Ride was the Guy in the back of the boat,LOL..HAHAHAH Wander what he was yelling..lol.... really not funny but i bet he SOILED hiself.hahaha Should have been more than 2 straps holding up this boat anyway's, 3 or 4 straps would have assured no problems unless all equipment was a failure. That Boat is JUNK after beeing upside down in saltwater might as well junk it.. Atleast the Guy in the Back got a $2.5 Million dollar ride of a lifetime.lol....

 

[HAPPYTREE]

[HuffAndPuff]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

hahahahahahahhahaha! WOOOOOOOO! <claps loudly> MAZEL TOV!!!!

ahem. Sorry about that, but that was almost as good as watching somone trip/fall/tip their chair over. Any video or photos of that?

Hey scifreak, if you're reading this, this might could be why they don't let people take (pot)smoke breaks whilst on the job.

MKUltra, if you look even closer you can see that the guy in the back of the boat is actually shitting himself.

Does this remind anyone of Caddyshack? "I christen thee....The Flying Wasp! <sound of wood breaking>"

Thanks fer the larf.

HAHAHAHA Holy Shit!!! I would flip shit if i saw that happen to my NEW boat. My foot would be up all of those crane operators ass's!!!

 

[clorox]

at gathering of the vibes somebody took a shit in one of the toilets and then put a 50 in ithe water haha

 

[HuffAndPuff]

Clorox- so are you the one who left it, or are you the guy who picked it out. Because we all know you didn't take a piss and/or dump on a fifty dollar bill.

[Pops]

65' is pretty short for a submarine!

 

[HuffAndPuff]

65' too short? Pops, they don't make em like they used to!

I can build you two submarines that are less that long when laid end-to end. Okay, I mean, I can't, but I hear those Spaniards are quiiiiite crafty....

How 'bout this one:

A removal man who let a £45,000 concert piano slip off the back of his lorry and plunge down a bank described the monumental gaffe as "the worst thing that's ever happened to me".

Brian Haigh made a humiliating public apology to the instrument's owner and told how the experience left him lost for words.

The blunder was captured on camera as the piano fell 13 feet, leaving the red-faced removal men clutching their heads.

The 9ft Bosendorfer was supposed to be delivered - in one piece - to the Two Moors Festival in Devon.

"I couldn't speak for five minutes," said Brian, who is employed by G & R Removals in Chiswick, west London.

"I was really disappointed. I haven't got words for it. I've been doing this job a long, long time. It's the worst thing that's ever happened to me.

"I was just gutted, absolutely gobsmacked. I couldn't believe it had gone over. I couldn't talk for five minutes."

enny Adie, 54, the festival's organiser said: "We had been raising money for over two years to get this piano, it was the most ghastly moment, seeing all one's hopes and dreams being smashed down the stone steps."

Mr Haigh, from west London told how the accident happened.

"I was trying to put the piano on to the tail lift, going through the normal process for pianos, the next thing I know it's in the ditch," he said.

He said the usual way to remove a piano is to put it in a transport shoe - a frame that fits round the piano's body.

He said: "As we lowered the tail lift, it must have just clipped what we call the shoey and sent it over to one side. I don't understand why it happened.

"I've had better days but nobody was hurt and I do like to look on the bright side. If someone had been hurt I'd be absolutely gutted.

It was e-mailed to me, but if you right click the pictures you can save them and then just copy the text over an send it as e-mail as well. I was not given the link.

How 'bout this one:

Ah but what that does not say was that there was an identical piano to that one sat in the main cabin on the boat that just beat Greg Louganis in the unhinged wonkey entrance awards.
