> This $20,000 piece of equipment sucks the water out of the sea.

> Everything was going well until all of a sudden, my butt started

>
> I informed the dive supervisor of my dilemma over the

> Needless to say I aborted the dive.

>
> The cream put the fire out, but I couldn't poop for two days

LoL Nice article, As i was reading it, it made my butt crack itch!!!! we wont go any further on that though!!! LoL. I agree, Why wouldnt that hose have some kind of filter on it as it was taking the water out of the sea and into the hose!! And wouldnt the water then go up to his face and not just in his back side? |
