  2. Some great comments in there.

    “That was a Catch and Release part of the River”

    “He must have been White…He could float”

  3. If this had happened in Cleveland on the Cuyahoga River you could say that he’d be up shit creek without a paddle. And if this was in the Philippines in Olongapo City where Shit River is he’d be dead or near dead from all the contaminants and crap in the polluted water and have to be inoculated for every disease known to man.
