That’s why my boat has a “Man overboard” chain on the key..............

George Bush must have made him insult his SUV. This is what happens. Sad, very sad.

Sometimes you get the fish, sometimes...

That’s what he gets for naming his boat Christine.

Did the publication change the original headline, or did you?

Boat Kills Owner

---

Was the boat mad at the owner? Did the owner cheat on the boat? Have the police arrested the boat, or do they think it is a case of boat self defense?

Guns, SUVs, not boats are killing people. Looks like the left will have one more thing to ban.

Sofa sufficates owner.

The threshold for "Breaking News" seems a bit low these days. I guess this is going to be a very slow news day.

"Their boat went into a hard turn, threw them out and ran over them.'

Are we sure this wasn't an SUV in disguise?

It sounds to me as if the helmsman got careless and lost control. Most likely he had the engine revved up, let go of the tiller, and it swung quickly all the way over to one side, because the steering was set too loose.

Was it his boat, or a rented boat? Yet another lousy reporter.

bass fishing boat, eh? probably an electric trolling motor was in use, therefore I’m going to classify this as a green death. Be afraid of your Prius, be very afraid.

[Kevin in California]

That’s why you have a kill switch.

[Frantzie]

Were they drunk? Most boat accidents involve alcohol.

[Nervous Tick]

I didn’t realize Toyota made boats.

[sjmjax]

You might be on to something.

Must have been one of those evil, fuel guzzling, unstable at high speeds SUB...

Sport Utility Boat

[reagan_fanatic]

Did he catch anything?

[Scythian]

Maybe it was Champy, the lake monster up there. In all seriousness, what a shame, went fishing and never came back, ask not for whom the bell tolls ...

[RichInOC]

Bass boats...SUVs on water.

[End Times Sentinel]

Most boat accidents involve alcohol.

In my experience, most boating involves alcohol.
