Superstorm Sandy was a bad time to float on a raft to Wal-Mart

11/29/2012

For two brainless Maryland men, Superstorm Sandy was apparently the opportune time to make whiskey sours and float down a raging river on an inflatable raft. To go shopping at Wal-Mart. The Frederick County Sheriff's Office reported that on Oct. 30, Marvin Lee Kingsbury and Charles Kent Bowers decided to float five miles on a raft down the Monocacy River in the midst of Sandy with a waterproof cooler filled with whiskey sours (victory cigars, according to Bowers) for a shopping trip to Wal-Mart. The men had to be rescued after their raft overturned. An unrepentant Bowers said he’d make the trip again, but with a “better boat next time.” [Source]
