Annals Of Inventiveness: Wetass (Very Wet) Tugboating…
April 8, 2005
Question: How do you get some coal barges and a tugboat under a low bridge with the river running at flood stage? Answer: watch and learn…
“Hey, Charlie. Low bridge ahead. Release the barges and let ‘em float through…”
“But how are we going to get under, Skip…?
“Heh-heh. Ever play tugboat limbo, Charlie…?”
“How low can we go…?”
“Limbo, limbo, limbo-tug. Sing, Charlie…”
“Surfacing. Aooogah. Aooogah. I love this tugboat sh*t…”
“Dum-de-dum. Time to hook up again…”
“Ahh. That’s enough fun for now, Charlie. Crack me a beer and let’s find the next bridge on the chart…”
