Unfortunately, nobody under the age of 50 is going to get that pun.

I can’t repeat here what my husband said about “slits,” this being a family-friendly site and all...

“silts” lite was the first diet beer.
It took Lee Marvin to convince men to buy it.

Probably just following the GPS nav in his dash and not looking outside much.
We have had two tourists drive into the ocean down boat launching ramps doing that. You have to think seeing boats and water ahaead would be a clue.

When you’re out of slits, you’re out of pier...A doozie!
And, as this driver found out, (h)it's the water (Olympia beer motto)

The dog was the driver. He was suicidal.

That was James Coburn. Lee Marvin wouldn’t do a beer commercial.
