A friend of the Human's, not as old as the Human, but still old enough to know better (you'd think), actually jumped off a ferry into San Francisco Bay this morning and swam the 1.5 miles from Alcatraz to the shore.
Now, since neither she nor any of the other 900 Stoopy Humans with her were actually imprisoned on that island, you'd think they might've just taken the ferry back. But nooooooooooo -- they swam!
And look! There are some of them now, rounding the bend into the cove near Aquatic Park, teeth chattering, eyes burning, taking on seawater like the Titanic.
The Human's friend came in 4th for her age bracket and the Human thought she looked really Bad@ss in her wetsuit and all. Go figure.
Me, I think they've all lost their minds.

I’m with you on this one, Spitman. Did they all get arrested? Heh heh.
ReplyDeleteThere's something in the water there. That's right about where the Younger Human jumps into the water while wearing dresses every year. ON PURPOSE.
ReplyDeleteWe think they're crazy for going in the water on purpose, much less that freezing water. Geez.
ReplyDeleteI don't ever go in water, but my momma goes swimmin all da time. I fink she are crazy!
ReplyDeleteThis proves SOMETHING...what, we're not quite sure.
ReplyDeleteWe have to agree with you on this one, Spitster.
ReplyDeleteWith you all the way on this King Spitty. Humans are indeed incomprehensible.
ReplyDeleteWell better that they swam AWAY from Alcatraz and not towards it. THAT would have been absolute madness.
ReplyDeleteOh dear! Aren't there sharks in that water? When I was a tourist visiting Alcatraz many years ago, I was told that a number of people had tried to escape over the years but none was successful - they either drowned or were taken by sharks. Was that just a myth?

Your human's friend is CRAZY! What were they all thinking?! It's WET out there!
ReplyDeleteLost their marbles indeed. Water means wet. Yikes. Have a serene Sunday. Hope you are looking forward to some big easy today.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
OH Spitty. Mom like to have choked on her coffee! Your means of description here, well, they defy description. I can see it now, feel it and mom said she's getting a warm towel to try to knock off the chill.
ReplyDeleteJumping into water on purpose?
ReplyDeleteYikes! Those humans ARE stoopid!
The thought of getting all wet gives us the shudders :o

Dang Spitty, why would they want to swim when they could ride the boat?!?!
ReplyDeletehmmm yeah I think they let their minds on Alcatraz, lobotomy?
ReplyDeletePeople do such silly things. Why would they want to swim to jail? Are there good treats there or something?
ReplyDeleteHumans are always doing ridiculous things. That's why cats are smarter and better than humans. XO, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
ReplyDeleteI notice there's no mention of catching any fish on that swim, so I think it's Double Plus Stoopy.
ReplyDeleteOh *I* get it! Humans are the live bait that lead much tastier fishes to the shore area where all them other weirdos are waitin with nets. That would make the most sense given the amount of kitteh slaves in The City.

Humans are a very strange lot.......swimming to Alcatraz and BACK......? Temporary insanity is the only answer.....which may explain a LOT!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Sammy
Beans are strange critters. AND they say we kitties go crazy when we do our laps of the house. At least we isn't getting wet!
ReplyDeleteSasha, Sami, & Saku
Well OK now...humans are weird Spitty, what can we cats say?
ReplyDeleteHumans sure are weird!
ReplyDeleteI think they've lost their minds, too. If the water is deeper than a bathtub I don't want anything to do with it!
ReplyDeleteWow they swam and in freezing water too. Yes I am with you Spitty, quite mad
ReplyDeleteWell it just proves what we all know! They are cracked. Totally barmy!!
ReplyDeleteisn't it rather cold in the water there? We agree, humans do stupid tricks too.
ReplyDeleteSheesh, that is stoopid.
ReplyDeleteGo friend of the human!
