I recall an old news story; some family of religious loons decided that God wanted them to go to Louisiana, naked. So they all piled into the family vehicle, stark naked, and started on their way. Partway there they had an accident, and when the police showed up climbed out unhurt, naked and singing hymns. A cop was quoted as saying “I don’t believe it. God would never tell anyone to go to Louisiana.” ---

> [@Mooch](#): > > A friend was working as a life guard here in Chicago many moons ago when he saw some guys water skiing. They had pulled up to a breakwater and the skier had gotten out and was standing on some of the boulders on the other side of it. > > They were planning on gunning it while he held on. As my friend ran down the pier/breakwater screaming “NOOooooooo” he heard the skier yell out this: > > **“Let it happen, Cap’n”** > > These were his last words. > > To this day my friends and I find that quote appropriate for all manner of occasions. Was he trying to jump over the breakwater? How wide/tall was this thing? And did he end up just splatting or what?
