Call the local pizza hut and ask how many slices of pizza are on the medium size. If they say 8 , ask them if they can cut it into 4 because you can't eat 8. Listen for the dead silence on the phone. Or go any where to pay for something and ask if they take cash. You'll get some funny looks

If any of you Boat you may find this a bit funny. I will try to explain for all the landlovers though.

While conducting a boarding on a pleasure boat my Boarding Officer and I heard this odd but familiar humming sound.

(Certain kinds of pleasure boats if not all have a plug in the back of the boat on the transom. This plug is used to drain the hull from any water that might have come in. After having a boat in the water most owners pull the plug once it is on the trailer.)

We asked if the humming sound was the bilge pump (a pump used to remove water from the boat, usually used IF THE BOAT IS SINKING!)

Without missing a beat the owner responded "yea, I always have the plug removed and the bilge pump on when im on the water." The reason being is that when it rains the hull fills up with water so it was just easier for him to constantly pump water from his hull.

Essentially we were on a sinking vessel with a weak bilge pump trying to keep the boat afloat.

Like I said, the boating public would probobly be the only ones that found that funny or really freaking stupid.

(Snip the rest)
I found it amusing you used the "landlovers" instead of "landlubbers."
