Portly Man Takes Spill Out Rowboat

It’s a fact of life not everyone is a born seafarer. Some, as it turns out, aren’t even born stream, lake or pond-farers either. I wouldn’t say there’s a nautical gene, but it certainly takes practice, or at least a boat-eager disposition to be comfortable in that setting. Two things are for sure: you have to start early, and this man definitely did not do that.

A portly man attempts to board a rowboat at a family picnic.

Like the Titanic, this voyage was doomed from the outset. From the instant Will, to which those off-camera refer to him, takes his first step into this metal hull, it’s Wobble City: population Will. “Uh oh, there we go,” remarks one rather prescient onlooker. Holding his arms out, Will attempts in earnest to stabilize himself, but anyone watching can see it’s a fool’s errand.
