Boat sinks at sea. SURVIVAL QUESTION

[Stu Jackson]

Just push the bloody cork IN, and then do exactly what Rich suggests. No slapping required.

Wrong wrong wrong ! it is cheap wine with a screw cap.

 

[RECESS]

If the bottle is only partially filled, do you need to waste time with the cork?

I am also trying to think of the type of whale that would stay there and let you hit him?

i am haveing a hard time seeing a 1/2 emty or 1/2 full bottle of wine ...all theses years and i was under the impression that when a bottle was uncorked it is bad luck to not empty the bottle

Take the bottle and hit yourself over your head and the bottle will break. After all you obviously deserve to be hit over the head for not being prepared for off shore boating.

Keep it up,

It must be cold and wet outside....:zzz:

CEO

HYDROSHOCK will get the cork out of the bottle and without breaking it.
1. Invert the bottle - neck down
2. hold the bottle firmly in one hand
3. SLAP the bottom (now inverted to the 'up' position) as many times as needed to extract the cork. The energy of the slap will transmit ultimately to the cork, and eventually by many slaps will remove the cork from the bottle. Then,
4. Drink all the wine, fall into a slumber in the bottom of the dinghy while contemplading you nescht steps.
5. Remember that yho inwertd th ebobble, dranked all the whine, then falled asleap in the dinghly ... but trie to bemember the tyme whan the corke wnet pop so you can ded resckon your positoron in case yuo dunt ever waek up agin so the unnertaker can properrly dispoz of them reamayns, etc. etc. If there is 2 bobbles floatin by your bettr choiz will b the Cheerdonny with the high alchenhol contennt - hic.
Rx. No need to break a wine bottle to extract the cork .... just invert and slap the bottom until you are silly or the cork pops out enough to grab it.

Slapping the bottom of an inverted wine bottle will 95% of the time 'pop' the cork out after many successive 'slaps'.

Our old CEO and founder was a party animal. I was at a conference one time and someone else who used to work with him asked me if he still opened champagne bottles by pounding them on the wall LOL.

You have that right. A half full bottle of wine is a ...... vinegar factory !!!!!!!!

 

[Ross]

Not to worry about dying from hunger you will die of thirst and exposure first because you are naked. If you had clothes you would have many more resources that you could fashion for survival.

Bring some 151 rum instead, feed it to the shark and when he floats to the top haul him in at eat him. Bless us Lord, Thy sea is so great and my boat is so small. Fair Winds and Full Sails...

 

[sophias wanderings]

I've never seen a full bottle float!

 

[Tom]

Well none of this really matters. If you did stab a fish the blood in the water would cause all the sharks in the area to shred the inflatable and you would become dinner. End of problem!!!!!!!

Row yourself to an island and find a rock.

 

[CaptJake]

Drink the wine and relax,
Tommy Lee and PETA will arrive soon enough. After fining you for hitting and killing the whale and planning some form of protest for your cruel and unusual treatment of a hammerhead shark, they will ask for a sanction and suspension due to your "attack with a deadly weapon attempting to maim innocent fish" as they swam by your inflatable (not to mention with all that blood in the water inciting the other sharks to riot (your fault).
After they hand you over to the Coasties for interrogation as to why you were ill prepared for an ocean voyage (you dont carry a knife because..........?) you will spend a couple hours answering questions about possible mob ties (where'd ya get that pinky ring?) before Al Gore shows up to lecture you on how the temporary freezing of the ocean was all due to global warming. And after all that; YOU WILL BE ASKED.......... so about that half empty wine bottle? Is that why ya hit the whale?

Grab both bottles out of the water and bang them together (while holding them over the water to keep the glass out of the dinghy.) Now it cut your hand and the blood attracted a big shark. You try to capture the shark but he just laughs at you then drinks your wine.

You then wake up with a splitting headache and realizing you shouldn't have actually consumed all that wine.

I thought for sure that this post was meant to be a conundrum to think outside the box. So was the whale a Narwhal there by something to break the bottle with, eh?

When I was young we filled coke bottles to overflowing and slapped the top with our palm and the bottom popped off. True story!

What did I win?
