That one's pretty good.

Reminds me of when I was a kid at a lake in MN. A husband and wife show up in their new T-bird (Leather seats, T-tops (remember the days of T-tops) and sticker still in the window) pulling a boat on a trailer. The wife goes to the nearby store while the husband tries to unload the boat. The husband unhooks the boat then hangs onto the bow rope in one hand with the driver door open so he can hang onto the boat when it comes off the trailer. He backs down the ramp and hits the brakes. After a couple of times doing this the boat comes off the trailer, and when it does it yanks him right out of the car. :) I'm sure you can imagine the look on his wifes face when she came back from the store and saw all of us standing on the dock looking at the T-tops that were about a foot under water.

The tow truck came and pulled the car out of the water, and then my dad had to hook onto the guys trailer to get his boat out of the water. I'll remember that one for a long time.

Sadly, it happens to paddlers, too.
