“in the middle of a 37-hour booze bender, superhuman Arron”
Wow, just in the last 2 weeks I’ve been hearing about British travelers.
Once again, booze and drunkeness is mentioned.

Well. It is near Las Vegas..........and at least he didn’t marry a stripper that he had just met. /s

If sucked in he would most likely drown but I suspect they have some sort of screen to block large items (like tree branches or stray animals) from actually reaching the turbines Yeah, funnily enough they're called "trash screens," and they are part of those towers you see jutting up through the water on either side of the dam's center line on the deep side.
Maybe they should have been called "eurotrash screens."

Got a chuckle out of imagining that coming out of the mouth of an American policeman.

Probably some kind of a screen to prevent debris and fish from entering. He would have been sucked down and pinned against the screen. He would have drowned. Someone would have had to swim down and pull his body off of the screen. What was left of it.

As a test of physical ability, I’d say he passed.
But he failed the Intelligence Test.

Wow! It’s a shame those genes for such good looks are accompanied by the let’s-act-stupid genes.

I am guessing he would have been sucked under then gone thru the intake mesh and come out like hamburger. The fish would have been happy.

Interviewer: Er, Mr Verccotti, what do you say to people who accuse you of exploiting Ron for your own purposes?
Mr Vercotti: Well, it's totally untrue, David. Ever since I left Sicily I've been trying to do the best for Ron. I know what Ron wants to do, I believe in him and I'm just trying to create the opportunities for Ron to do the kind of things he wants to do.
Interviewer: And what's he going to do today?
Mr Vercotti: He's going to split a railway carriage with his nose. (screams off)
(Cut to a hillside; Vercotti, interviewer, and in the background a banner: 'Running to Mercury'.)
Mr Vercotti: The only difficult bit for Ron is getting out of the Earth's atmosphere. Er, once he's in orbit he'll be able to run straight to Mercury.
(A heavily bandaged Ron leaps off starting platform: freeze frame. Scream. Cut to a tombstone: 'Ron Obvious 1941-1969 - very talented', Pull back to show Vercotti.)
Mr Vercotti: I am now extremely hopeful that Ron will break the world record for remaining underground. He's a wonderful boy this, he's got this really enormous talent, this really huge talent.

Ozzy was caught taking a whizz at the Alamo. The cop asked him if he liked it if someone did the same to Buckingham Palace. Ozzy replied “I don’t give a s—t, I don’t live there.”

He’s dam lucky that it didn’t suck him in like a Hoover.

Lucky man, dodged the Darwin bullet. I am sure many on Freepland,especially Vets,can say they dodged the Darwin Bullet. It makes me shudder thinking about exploits my buddies and I have done.

That was when I heard the police shouting Oi, come here lad. Well, no, I don't think that's what they shouted.
To: Hojczyk
Darwin aside, that’s a pretty cool “What I did on my vacation” story.
In his defense, he probably had little or no idea of the danger he ran of becoming chopped liver.
To: originalbuckeye
And give the stripper his grandmother’s Holocaust ring.
