A lad in Scotland rode “a jet ski to cross 25 miles of open Irish Sea waters to visit his girlfriend…”
And yep, cops arrested and caged him. Too bad Romeo didn’t claim to be Neil Ferguson so he could enjoy Ferguson’s, um, immunity when committing this “crime.”
The entertaining account that Gary from Central Florida forwarded enumerates the “crazy details” of Romeo’s odyssey:
This is one of those stories will turn into the great British dramas of our time. This is definitely an Academy Award-winning storyline. …The story of Dale McLaughlan pulling off this journey has to be in the running for at least 10 [Awards]. It has it all! The romance. The drama. The action. The climax. The steamy quarantine sex. The police. EVERYTHING!
Let’s put this into perspective for you guys. Here are the bullet points of this story:
-
25-mile jet ski ride in waters that average about 52 degrees
-
Took five hours at sea due to bad weather
OK, all you aspiring lovers: which of you has undertaken a more perilous journey to see your lady?
That’s when I lost it all!
-
15-mile walk
Where’s the jet ski all this time? Tell me he lugged it with him!
-
He’ll miss Christmas with his family because he’s been sent to COVID jail …
Can you imagine? They oughta be signing Romeo up for the winter Olympics, and instead they tossed him in the pokey. Yet Britannia wonders why she no longer rules the waves!
-
He bought the jet ski just for the quarantine escape
-
Had just minutes of fuel remaining as he landed his vessel on the Isle of Man
Hmmm. Do you suppose we could vaccinate Americans with Dale’s defiance against despotism?
