A 21-year-old Floridian man lost his beer-bong while boating and took action into his own hands.
Seven hours after a Crestview father reported his 21-year-old son missing from Crab Island, the younger man was found safe on the docks behind a Destin restaurant.
The father told an Okaloosa County sheriff’s deputy that his son had been standing in the water about 3 p.m. when he last saw him, according to Sheriff’s Office report.
About an hour later, the son left a cell phone message asking his father to call immediately.
The father called that number and spoke to a man who said the son had been on his boat earlier, but had left to swim after his beer bong after it was thrown overboard.
When the deputy found the younger man at about 10:30 that night, the son told him he had been trying to make his way home after waiting for an hour on the east side of Marler Bridge [SOURCE]
Beer, boats, and in-bred Floridians make for a catastrophic retardation cocktail. The only thing worse more entertaining is crack and/or heroin, in-bred Floridians and the production crew of the show COPS. Is it just me or does the “bad boys, bad boys” crew just hover over northern and central Florida 24-7 and film there constantly?
Quick true story: I once stopped in a central Florida McDonald’s on a road-trip and here’s how an exchange went between a customer in front of us and the clerk:
Customer: “How much for a 39-cent cheeseburger?”
Clerk: (after long pause) “That’ll be $16.38″
Customer: (after longer pause) “$16.38! For a 39-cent cheeseburger?”
Clerk: (after very long pause) “Oh. I thought you said 39 cheeseburgers….”
This was after an all-nighter in South Beach driving back to Orlando. God knows where we were….and why I was making that drive in the first place! We were on the floor crying and peeing ourselves laughing.
Note: A 39-cent cheeseburger is 42-cents (with tax).
