By Request: 3 Duffers in a Rowboat

(My friend Susan has requested “silly stuff” to break the monotony of silly politics. The French police have obliged her.)

I had a friend who was guaranteed to fall into the water every time we went boating. He never failed to fall in. And it always surprised him.

But he had nothing on these three French cops trying to do a bit of flood control in this little plastic boat more suitable to two kids in a swimming pool. Hint: If you’re using shovels instead of oars, you’re doing it wrong.

Inspector Clouseau couldn’t have made a better mess of it.
