A super wreck! Dramatic lifesaving! Perfect viewing!
I’ve done a lot of stupid shit in my life. We all have. It’s part of living. You make bad decisions, pay the consequences. Hopefully learn a lesson. No harm, no foul. Just pick up your shit and move on.
But, you know, there’s a level of utter fucking stupidity that’s hard to swallow. Sticking some firecrackers in your mouth and lighting the fuse.
Making terrorism jokes on line at the airport. Taking out a payday loan. Mixing benzos, painkillers, and booze. Trying to beat a train at a railroad crossing. Being the only black guy in a group exploring a haunted house. Voting Trump.
How about ramming your jet ski into the jetty at solid sized Wedge? Is that the stupidest thing anyone has ever done?
Gotta be up there. Blow apart an expensive piece of gear, nearly kill you and your lady. Force a bunch of bystanders to risk their lives to save yours. Shut down the spot while your thousand pound hunk of scrap floats about the lineup.
Thank goodness for lifeguards. Or maybe not. Now we’ve gotta live with these people. Maybe shoulda let nature takes its course.
