Present day Lake Cahuilla is a man made lake, and the men who designed it joke about the shape they designed it to fit. (IMHO, with maturity levels of 3rd graders)

The Salton Sea occupies a long, flat basin in the Sonoran Desert southeast of Los Angeles. This body of water has been called the "accidental sea" because it was created inadvertently in 1905, when the Colorado river flooded and broke through temporary gates built to control water flowing into irrigation canala in California's Imperial Valley. Today, excess irrigation water continues to sustain the Salton Sea, which has no outlet. Map courtesty of Salton Sea Database Program, University of Redlands, California

I knew a guy who grew up in the Imperial Valley. He never used the phrase, eat sh!!t. Instead he would say, suck canal water. Apparently, that’s worse.
