From the US Navy safety center. As an ex-squid myself, I can tell you that there are some seriously dangerous rocks out there, just like this guy.

From the article: "This prime example of human ingenuity shows a man standing barefoot on a metal ladder in a swimming pool with an electric drill held loosely in his hands...the plug gingerly tied and dangling next to his dripping wet, half soaked torso. You have to give him credit though...at least he's wearing safety goggles."

1. Wonder how much of the booze along the edge of the pool

he had before taking on that job.

3. What gets me is the bare feet and safety goggles.

5. the barefeet is obviously

because he didn't want to get his boots wet...

4. I would love to meet the person who took this picture.

The photographer must not have thought very highly of the man on the ladder. Perhaps he was expecting something to happen?
