Dick Van Dyke Rescued by Porpoises
Organized Exploitation ^ | 11-11-10 | Paul Kroenke

The point to take away from this story is not that porpoises forged an incredible and instantaneous bond with a human, and saved his life. The point is, obviously, that old people can fall asleep ANYWHERE.

Eighty-four years old and still surfing? Good for you, Rob (Petre)!

Like me, when you get old, sleeping is the best part of age. Just tie me to a dock so I don’t fall into the water...

That’s a lovely story. Must be getting old too - was expecting a video. Ha Ha Ha.

Simalar thing happened to me off Grand Bahamma in a small inflateable dinghy. I woke up and could not see land. Going by the sun I paddled against the wind for hours and was able to hitch hike bake to my beach. No porpoises took care of me.

Not still surfing. He told the story on Craig Ferguson about when he was a youngster surfing on a 10 ft. board.

That is the greatest headline ever. I don’t even care what the story is about.

Really? Little bastards ripped my flesh. Or maybe it was weasels. I can't really tell 'em apart.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Not the first time this has happened. Arion was thrown overboard and was carried to shore by a dolphin (according to Herodotus, Book I, chapters 23 and 24). But Arion first sang and played his harp, and only attracted the notice of one dolphin, whereas Dick Van Dyke got rescued without doing anything first.

But they couldn't keep him from tripping over that ottoman every other time he walked past it.

As a diver I've been around them and we are cautioned that
they can be very mean and sometimes aggressive, especially
when they get amorous with the lady divers. You never hear
any lovely stories from the people they pushed AWAY from
land!

To most people that sounds ludicrous. I met a lady who is a leading safety instructor in SCUBA. She recently fell asleep while SCUBA diving. She said it scared the dickens out of her.

I think that this is the first time that phrase was ever formed in the history of Mankind.
