Default "These waders are not working"

That is the story coming from a 3rd cousin via marriage, he came out to visit and the uncle took him boating (for the first time ever). Every time he got into the water his feet were getting wet and he had no idea why (uncle had done a small tear in an old pair for kicks).

This boy pre-teen has been shetlered from so many things and growing up preppy never getting to deal with a boat before, he had a blast but I can not count he number of times he would say "These waders are not working".

How funny is that! Shame on the uncle for tearing the waders... what a pain for him in the future. Why would you ruin a perfectly goof pair of waders?

That is too funny. Something I would do as long as the water was not too cold.

Ahhh, nothing like exposing someone who has lead a sheltered life to some of the great outdoors...or in this case, the joys of water. LOL

Well, that didn't seem too fair, but it's pretty funny. How long did he deal with soggy feet before he realized there was probably a hole in them? Or did he wait for the uncle to fess up?
