Sealing my un-fate
Scott Thompson was doing his fishing thing as a diver that collects sea urchins. He was out in his outboard small boat several miles from shore with the motor running slowly, when he accidentally went overboard last month. He was only wearing shorts and a T-Shirt. “And I just started swimming as hard as I could, towards the boat, and it really didn’t take too long to realize like, it’s getting farther, I’m not getting closer.” “Then panic set in” as the icy chill of the ocean quickly hit him. “I thought to myself, great, this is how I’m going to die,” Thompson told KABC. “Today is the day I’m going to die.” But he said all of a sudden, he heard a big splash — which he assumed was a shark. A harbor seal swam over to him and gave him the push he needed to keep fighting for his life. “It was a medium-sized harbor seal,” Thompson detailed. “The seal would go under water and he came up and nudge me,” he said, explaining it was like when a dog nudges your leg. With no one else for Thomson to turn to, the seal became his “best buddy,” he said. “He was like my dog. ‘Come here, little buddy!’ I said. He’d bob up and down looking at me, then disappear under water, pop back up, and look at me,” Thompson recounted. “It was like he was telling me, Hey, Dude! Get your ass in gear and get going! I was starting to run out of things to say to him, so I sang him Grateful Dead songs and told him the same corny dad jokes that I tell my kids.”. Buoyed by the cheering creature, Thompson felt determined to swim to an oil platform, which he reached after swimming about five hours. Crew members on the rig provided first aid before the Coast Guard got him to a hospital, where he was treated for hypothermia.
Swimming in funnies
What’s the best thing about a swimming pool bar?
There’s never a line for the bathroom.
My wife wasn’t too happy when I mentioned that our limited budget meant deciding
between improving the kitchen or replacing the pool pump.
It was either sink or swim.
Well, if there’s one thing I’ve learned from my daughter’s first swimming lessons,
She’s definitely not a witch.
