> [@running\_coach](#): > > Skiing? I would push the throttle to “skipping rocks”… Ever tried to ski barefoot… starting up from the floating in the water position, waiting for the tow rope to get taut? You just know you’re about to get a face full of water, and will barely be able to breathe. As you get fire-hose-pressure water forced up your balls and your butt. (If that doesn’t give you the gay…) ---

I thought it was cool how the one boat (Perhaps lake Authority or whatever, it had flashing light) tilted there outboard upward and gave the burning boat a blast of water trying to put out the fire. Not that I have any sympathy for these despicable morons, but that was kinda clever. ---

So-called [“Son of Sam” laws](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Sam_law) are a bit tricky. Several have been struck down when challenged. I would be surprised if the Feds just seized the money but wouldn’t be too surprised if they sued for the money after. ---

The female apparently spent her time on their boat in a fit of screaming hysteria. They were also wearing lifevests so drowning was unlikely. And there was another boat nearby, as noted. > [@Steve\_McQwark](#): > > I don’t know if it would count as rendering aid, but it would definitely count as skiing. Thank you.

I’ve spent plenty of time around gay people in my life, and I’ve never even caught a mild case of bisexuality let alone a full blown case of ‘the gay’. Maybe you caught the gay when you were a baby and you are immune to it now. The rest of us can’t take any chances. What if I talk to a gay, and the next thing you know I’m dressed in leather ass-less chaps on a float in a parade? My wife would be sooo pissed! ---

Well true, but the idiom here is chaps worn without the more traditional idea of pants or maybe even underwear underneath them. Which really shouldn’t be called assless since an exposed ass is their most prominent feature. Assful chaps anyone? Assfull? 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/omnibus-stupid-mfers-in-the-news-thread-part-1/931945.md?page=34) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/omnibus-stupid-mfers-in-the-news-thread-part-1/931945.md?page=36)
