    The fire fighting boats could use some practice.

    Anyway to fly a big net under them and use the ropes as target practice? Maybe another ship can come from the other side.

    They are not nearly a nutty as the Portland officials that failed to have them arrested and charged with the appropriate statues.
    Just another example of the need to show the "correct response" (emotional).

    Simple solution. Giant winch on one end of the bridge with a bunch of cables. Connect each cable to a rope with a d-ring, engage winch, pull the nitwits out of the way.

    No bull, this one.

    "
    33 U.S. Code § 409 - Obstruction of navigable waters by vessels; floating timber; marking and removal of sunken vessels"

    https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/33/409

    They look like flotsam hanging there to me.

    Captain MarAzul beat me to it.

    Blocking navigable waters is a federal offense.

    The U.S. Supreme Court has held that the Commerce Clause (Article1, Section8) gives the federal government extensive authority to regulate interstate commerce of navigable waters.

    You guys missed the joke. He wrote "statue" instead of "statute", hence the picture of the bull statue (which is the only one I could think of with which one might "charge" someone).

    It was funny. Really. I promise.

    Actually, I saw that, and took it as an honest mistake; I found no humor in it.

    I also did not find any humor in your making fun of MarAzul's honest mistake.

    Captain MarAzul was trying to enlighten people on a topic he is an expert in.

    And some people are so insecure with their own abilities; they need to point out the meaningless mistakes of others rather than the constructive points in a post.

    Yep, insecurity. That's it. Couldn't possibly be an attempt to inject levity into the thread... :sigh:

    Seriously, do you intentionally suck the fun out of every conversation you're in, of does it come naturally?
