I saw "Adrift" (a lot of people go for a
swim
off a boat and can't get back on - link)
last
night - a pretty tense film. Life would
have
been a lot easier for the characters in the
film and a better outcome for all would
have resulted if the boat had had some
motivational text printed
on its hull, just
above the Plimsoll line (link), explaining
the benefits of teamwork, organisation
and
recognising each team-member's
different
skills and abilities. If printed in small
enough letters it wouldn't detract from
the
lines of the boat.

.... or words below the water line - "IF
YOU ARE READING THIS YOU ARE UNDER
WATER AND IN THE EARLY STAGES OF
DROWNING - THIS PROCESS CANNOT BE
REVERSED" |

Under the line you can write (upside down):
"Other way up". |

With respect, mr hippo, I would suggest that synchronised-swimming instructions on how to create an underwater formation capable of hoisting someone about 1.5 meters are the obvious choice. |
|
| |
[methinksnot] There'd have to be an emergency pack of waterproof lipgloss with the instructions. |
|
| |
Do you not carry one of those all the time? |
|
| |
this might be one of the few points where extinction furthers our species fitness, so why ruin it? |
|
| |
A variation might be useful for automobiles, also. Such as "To walk beyond sight of this label may, in cases of snow blindness or heat prostration, end in death." |

Thanks, this has given me some honest laughs,
which I haven't had in a while. |
