It would appear the only good idea he had for this outing was to buy a waterproof camera.

Most likely in a hole in the creek.  Might never be found again unless they drag the creek.

At least it wasn't an ST.  We can't afford to lose any of them off the register since they've stopped building them.
Maybe wannabe owners will have to fulfill qualification requirements before they can buy an ST.    Wot thuh

I must be warped because I found it kinda funny, knowing that it was going to turn pear shaped.   Lots of bad decisions.   I noted that there was no wedding ring on his left hand, so perhaps he didn't need to explain the loss to his wife, which would have made a bad day worse.

I'm with you.
I laughed my arse off... because I know with 100% certainty I would have done the exact same thing
