A better movie than almost any being made right now:

Robert Zemeckis, eat your heart out...sometimes truth is better than fiction:

LONDON (Reuters) - An amateur sailor, described as "clueless" by his rescuers, was picked up at sea by British coastguards for an 11th time -- just two days after being rescued as he navigated with a road map.

Eric Abbott, 56, ran aground in his homemade boat off the north coast of Wales Thursday as he tried to sail across the Irish Sea from Anglesey, British newspapers said.

It was the same area where the unemployed painter, from Northwich in western England, had been picked up 48 hours earlier. He has now agreed to take navigation lessons after the bailouts that have cost more than $82,520.

Am I the only one that can't stop seeing this guy as if he were Bill Murray?

This topic is worthless and has no redeeming value.

Oh, wait, I was channeling another Sewer Chewer. Actually, I liked it, grendel ;} Reminds me of a customer this morning who insisted the problem wasn't with his IDSN line because it worked Saturday. It had to be the server.
Note that the server worked Sat, too.

Yeah, this sailor dude needs extreme tech support. I guess my biggest problem with the dude is that this was his 11th time being rescued, and that, while I can see being dumb enough to need it 11 times, it seems as though around the 7th or 8th time it would have occurred to you to buy a NAUTICAL map rather than a road map.

Yeah, FULL-ON 'What About Bob' mode, or even better, that over-confident just absolutely sincere 'The Man Who Knew Too Little' mode.

There is a new spate of T-Shirts going around my work. Black, with white print. Very simple.

The Front: Hello, and thank you for calling Technical Support!

The Back: Your ignorance is my job security.
