Somewhere, there's a guy with the plug sitting on his dresser because he forgot to put it back in and took it home in his pocket

Sitting on the boat plug is never a good idea.

When I was a kid in the late 70s we went fishing early on a Saturday after several days of heavy rainfall. There was a decent amount of rain water in the boat so my Dad took the plug out, not much bigger than a spark plug, put it in his pocket so the water would drain while we were driving to the lake. Get to the boat ramp. Remove the tiedowns, the motor bracket, all that stuff. My older brother gets in the boat and my Dad starts backing down the ramp. I'm in the cab with my Dad and as soon as the boat starts to float my Dad yells, "Oh shit! I forgot the plug"! He kinda panics for some reason and tries to pull the boat out of the water but the boat isn't connected any more so he just pulls the trailer out from underneath it. So he gets out and tries to underhand toss the plug to my brother on the boat and was probably two feet short so the plug goes into the water. This is a Saturday morning at Lake Pleasant just north of Phoenix so it's busy and crowded. My dad had to walk into the lake fully clothed, submerge himself completely and feel around for the plug, which he did manage to find. Ultimately only a couple a few gallons of water got in the boat but....if I was embarrassed, I can't imagine how humiliated my dad was in front of all those people.

Dude. Poor dad 😆. If you wanna waste some of your life on YouTube, search out boat landing videos. Never know what you'll get...a fight, a sunken boat, not hooked to trailer, etc... fun stuff lol
