I can see the airline hiring board nowā¦
āWellā¦we see here that you have 1700 hours total time and 150 multi. That is well short of our minimum requirements as you are probably aware.ā
āI am, sir. But YOU should be aware that I have 1.1M social media followers.ā
āWelcome to [Insert Major Airline here]!ā

That was a pretty fun watch. Iām always amazed people arenāt more careful around towing lines, cables, and straps thoughā¦ I meanā¦always assume they are going to fail. That dude walking around behind the Jeep while it was under the load was a terrible idea.
Judging from the left rear marker light on (and right off) and the horn constantly blowing, their electrical system will be screwed for the foreseeable future HA HA HA!
This one definitely made me laugh out loud. Theyāre going to need a bigger Jeep.

Jeeps can go off-road, but thatās WAYY off road. I think the electrical system is toast, esp with sea water.

Ya, Iāve never liked Jeeps because the cabin looks a bit cramped for my 6ā3" 260lbs. 
Iāve had my eye on the Gladiator though ā¦

Yeahā¦that one has a certain utilitarian appeal to itā¦ Our director of aviation has one and it is really nice. Canāt go rolling up to the employee lot in the same vehicle the boss drives thoughā¦

I canāt find the article so I will paraphrase. My area of NJ got pretty well soaked by Irma. A bunch of cars found themselves suddenly submerged and swept away and tragically a dozen or so motorists drowned. This one guy was trapped when his vehicle quit in rising water. A local contractor stopped and pulled him out. The savior then went BACK to the vehicle and retrieved the guyās two laptops. THEN he drives him to his shop and lets the guy crash there for the night. When a reporter later asked the contractor what he thought of being called a āheroā he said, āIām no hero. My JEEP is the hero!ā

Iām still dipping in occasionally to see how the boaters of Miami are faring.
This one is a bit baffling. Also, if I was called over to help some stranded boaters, I would be losing it if they werenāt helping and taking selfies and photos instead.

Absolutely brilliant stuff.
They readjusted smartly the original stories.

I was paddling my kayak on a river frequented by jetskiers years ago and one went past me flat out, curved around to follow the river cutting close to a headland called Bald Face which gets shallow and has lots of rocks just below the surface, when ābangā - he hit a rock just off Bald Face.
Iām slowly getting closer and watching first the bloke in the water next to his jetski, then the jetski starts tilting stern down, the seat pops off and floats, and the ski completely sinks like the Titanic. Must have ripped its bottom right out.
By the time I got up close, and a powerboat was assisting the bloke, I heard him say āitās my mateās jetskiā. Ouch, friendship stress. I took some photos (I wish I could find them now) and paddled on happily.
This is just one of the reasons Iām not a fan of jetskiers. Deliberately destroying an Osprey nest on the Georges River a few years back.

Surprised you didnāt get dumped out of your kayak when he went by! 
I fixed it for you, I agree they suck. 
I like to ride a jetski every now and then, and would never dream of doing something like the above. Iām also conscientious about my wake, rather Iām on a seadoo or a boat. Unfortunately our society doesnāt seem to value things like politeness, conscientiousness, or personal responsibility anymore.

When I was a fishing guide a few years ago, one of my guide buds remarked, concerning jet skiās, āthey donāt do anythingā [except run around, back-n-forth, then leave]. I saw his point. I personally donāt think about them at all, though they are rare on the water around here.
Iām just gonna say, make sure you watch She-Hulk next.
