So who else went into the article with a vastly different expectation as to what actually happened?

Absolutely. The first thing I noticed was that he was posing for the picture like a boss. I was like, that guy has life figured out. He got stuck in a glory hole and he owns it.

"Ray Fisher was attempting to use the Glory Hole on his boat but the current was too strong."

I'm dead...

Based on the image and the community I actually expected just the right thing. 😂

"Man got so stuck in glory hole firefighters had to pull him until he was free"

This would have to be the opposite of a click bait headline....

Dear penthouse forum

they actually have shots for that. works a charm. fast acting, and uh, mostly not without side effects.

Knew a guy who used to be a firefighter. One of the stories he liked to tell is responding to a guy that got stuck in a pool's filter intake.

I still cannot understand where this guy got stuck.

Edit: oh was he stuck under the bridge after getting out and kicking his own boat away and couldn't get out without swimming in the cold? I guess that's pretty funny.

Sounds like it was in the Ford Theatre men's room.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Sounds like a sitcom. "Oh Fred! You silly goose!"

I hear that Suzie Dent has been looking into this.
