Lol, maybe you should sharpen your sarcasm skills, or whatever your were attempting. You’re no Mark Twain. And why does anyone think the subject of this thread is a matter for joking?

Lol, you failed at sarcasm and the first poster failed at humor on a serious thread. Talk about poor reading comprehension and any inability to distinguish between poor sarcasm and poor jokes.

SCUBA uses (with some exceptions) plain air compressed in tanks. A rebreather scrubs CO2 out, replaces oxygen, and recirculates the air. They both have advantages. The closed loop rebreather emits no bubbles and might be an advantage in cave diving by not agitating silt on surfaces above the diver which would hurt visibility. I’ve done some cave diving, never got out of sight of the entrance.

All in the name of “adventure.” Otherwise seemingly intelligent people will jump off a 250 foot bridge tethered only to bungee strap rigged up by some third world pot smoking illiterate or wander into an uncharted cave with a local “tour guide.”

And, if it isn’t enough to risk ones own life, how about the rescuers?

I wasn’t being sarcastic. You seem to know a lot of things you don’t know.

Well, then, you were simply being presumptuous and ignorant in assuming that everyone has knowledge of some comedy that is now decades old. Duh. You seem to assume a lot a things wiser folks would not assume.

The more I read here the more i’m convinced that lack of humor is a genetic defect.

Hmm. 14 words in your answer (when ‘doesn’t’ is split back into ‘does not’. And an 88 in your name.

The media warned us about folks like you.

This was the initial message to me.

He was making a joke about Gilligan’s island. Duh.

Not an "explanation" as claimed, but an insult and sarcasm which clearly calls someone an idiot or ignoramus for not knowing some reference to a decades old TV comedy.

Look up the meaning of "Duh". Do you consider that humor? Maybe you're then one with a genetic defect. Words mean things, and if folks don't know what some words mean, then maybe they shouldn't use them.

Usually, stories involving children and Thailand involve buggery.
