A utility pole joke...excellent.

[Kaslin]

Maybe the think if he had been wearing a helment he would noth have been cut in half at the waist

[Klemper]

I bet those drinks probably ran right through him.

“...Henry was not wearing a helmet, added Special 1st Lt. David Kaiser....”

He would be with us today had he been wearing a helmet.

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

Prolly doesn’t have the guts to do in again.

Sorry, couldn’t resist!

[Kaslin]

What’s a no wake zone?

[hal ogen]

Would it be easier for him to become a tranny now?

I had a collision at speed last year with a heavy piece of biological farm equipment on an FLHR. It was a sudden midnight orgy of blood and chrome and donkey shit. Left 20 yards of straight black rubber on the road all the way from visual to impact.

Better to hit those barrel ribs head-on than to risk high-siding my wife and I from a pair of deep shoulder ditches through barbed wire fences.

Condolences to the man who didn't make it in this story, that is a harsh way to go.

[Kaslin]

definitely not

[Robert Teesdale]

Took his head off and ripped his spine out all the way down to the pelvis. All one big piece. They said he looked like a filleted fish.

There's an infinite number of ways to go, but that one is pretty goddamn bad.

[Half Vast Conspiracy]

If only those damned cagers had been watching out for him.

No Wake is a slow boat speed, where there is no curling wake behind the boat.

Also described as “in gear but engine idling”. It is enough to maneuver the boat but not at speed.

When on plane, the boat is riding on top of the water, skimming on the water instead of displacing the water.

A speedboat on plane is about two feet higher than an idling boat.

Some dumba$$ in a fancy speedboat went flying down the canal, up on plane. A neighbor yelled at him to slow down. The boater turned around and gave him the middle finger of both hands......and immediately hit a low bridge with his head.

Took his head off and ripped his spine out all the way down to the pelvis. All one big piece. They said he looked like a filleted fish.

Yikes, I bet he did

[shotgun]

When reached by phone his relatives said he was always pretty high strung.

[PGalt]

Condolences to family and friends of Henry.

[cripplecreek]

I had a friend who hit a hay rake. It didn’t kill him but it did perforate him in multiple places.

[Kaslin]

Perhaps if he had been wearing a helmet around his waist?

Only if they make helmets for around the waiste

[glennaro]

I suspect they will blame it on his failure to wear a helmet

... and, if he was a smoker ... well, you know how that goes ...

No Wake is a slow boat speed, where there is no curling wake behind the boat.

In my house “no wake” means, when dad’s taking a nap, you no wake him up, unless the house is on fire.

You mean his family, don't you?

And yeah condolences to them.
