And everyone with a rowboat or an innertube will be trying to get to
the landing site... like all those folks in kayaks in McCovey Cove
trying to get Splash Hits when Bonds still played for the S.F. Giants.

Someone opens the hatch, crawls inside to get the mil and everyone
else trying to clamber aboard brings the lower edge of the hatch below
sea-level. Then either one has a new ending for "It's a Mad Mad Mad
Mad World" or a field day for lawyers everywhere - or both.
