Their Achilles’ Hee
Who needs a ladder when you have your bestie to hold your ankles while going down a drain? We don’t know what was so important that they couldn’t have found something better to hold them, but if that was us we would want something more sturdy to support us.
We may love our friend, but one slip of the finger and we would be sent down that manhole face first. We can’t have that happen to our pretty faces.
A Cloud of Ashes
On May 30th, 1980, Jim Hobson (19 years old) and his pals were water skiing at Saddle Dam Park. There were not aware that Mt. St. Helens was going to erupt nearby. The upsurge ensued after many earthquakes in succession around the region and is believed to be the most destructive volcanic outbreak in 100 years. Luckily, the lads escaped unhurt from the accident and even carried on skiing while gazing at the eruption awe-struck; the boys were not harmed, but 57 people were killed during that calamity.
Jim Hobson along with his friends – Dave Pritchard, Ralph Morgan, and Robert Morgan – were camping at Saddle Dam Park’s Yale Reservoir when they witnessed the eruption.
Train Trouble
It remains a mystery whether or not the photo was real or fake. The guy survived the selfie. But really, who would be that careless with their life?
Jared Michael did not necessarily think this plan through. In an attempt to get a selfie standing in front of a moving train, he put himself directly into harm’s way. He decided to position himself on the tracks, directly into the path of the moving train. However, Jared should be thanking his lucky stars for what happened next…
A Spectacle to Behold
We wear glasses so we know how annoying it can be when we lose them. We look like Velma from “Scooby Doo” slowly patting the floor until our sight is returned to us. So, we can’t imagine the pain this man will feel as he has to summit this mountain with limited visibility after his glasses fell.
It did give us a great picture that we can laugh at now, and we hope he does too when he looks back at the photo.
A Bicycle Turned into a Unicycle
Fathers and sons love to exaggerate the truth when they are telling a story. One minute the fish was a foot long and took a few minutes to wrestle in, and the next time it was four feet long and took a few hours to wrangle in.
So, we would not have believed their bike story if the picture wasn’t there to support their claims. We are impressed he kept his balance long enough for his dad to snap the picture. If he continues practicing he might have a future as a circus performer one day.
