Re: Left the plug out.
This may be one that "you had to be there to appreciate" and trying to make a very long story short may loose some of the hilarity.
I was a new owner of a 32' Kayot pontoon house boat.
I had a new motor put on it (I'm no mechanic)
On the maiden voyage of the new motor, my fishing/drinking buddy Stan and I invited four other people to come out and joy ride on a nice summer day at Lake Lewisville.
The motor wasn't running right. We finally got it going good, but every 15 minutes or less it would slow down and we had to pump the bubble, and it would run fine for so many minutes, then pump, run fine then pump. Stan said he would watch the motor and would pump it when necessary. I was not really wanting to take new folks out with it running this way, but what the hey, we were there and ready to ride.
So we all enjoyed the trip out to the middle of the lake and while sitting inside up front we were telling jokes and all the stories you do while riding, and Stan would disappear every so often and go out the back door and pump the bubble as needed.
So, Stan decided he would go up on top. The ladder to the top deck was in the back on the side of the boat. We were strolling along and the motor slowed, stayed slow, then I began wondering what's up with Stan. After an amount of time, Stan stepped in through the back door and he was dripping wet. I smarted off and asked "What's wrong, did your hand get tired of pumping?" He replied, "What's wrong with you? You going deaf? I fell off about a half mile ago and been screaming my head off trying to get you to stop, THANK GOD THE BOAT WAS RUNNING SLOW!"
Lesson learned, leave the back door open so you can see who fell off.
