The Revenge Of The Ducks
Duck shooting season is very popular in Australia, and when the season began in Melbourne in March, 2000 George and his mates were eager to get killing. They had the use of a boat, a small metal contraption suitable for three people. George crammed himself, three mates and his son onto the boat. Oh, and a butt load of ammunition too.
The boat was too full by far so they decided to do without the life jackets. I guess you can all see where this is heading. The troop did have waders, but if waders fill with water you are in big trouble, you may as well be wearing concrete shoes.
300 m from shore the boat gave up the ghost and capsized, emptying its contents. Nearby boaters managed to save the majority of the moronic mariners but tragically George and one friend were later found dead, both wearing their waders. Even more tragically, his young son died in the incident too.
That’s the last of our tales of terror for today. I’d like to leave you with a word of wisdom if you’d allow me the indulgence? Thanks: don’t drive like an idiot, avoid bodies of water at all cost and never touch a gun. There you go.
