134 Ice Fishermen Rescued

February 10, 2009 | ISSUE 45•07

After the ice sheet they were fishing on broke away from the shore this weekend, 134 men had to be rescued by helicopter from Lake Erie. What do you think?

That's not fair. I live near Lake Erie and have been waiting for years to be rescued.

See, if that had been women ice-fishing instead of men, the testosterone levels involved with impulsive decision-making would not have prompted such an unwise choice. Also, women are fatter and thus more buoyant.

My heart goes out to their families.
