What's the dumbest thing you heard said today?

The dumbest thing I heard today... Keep in mind I'm in my final year of high school with a bunch of idiots...

"Duuuuude... You ever, like, think about ladybugs, man ?... What if they're all like, dudes. When were not looking. They should all be dudebugs.  8)"

:facepalm:

This person isn't the type who you'd expect to pass a drug test, is he?

No, not at all. Neither are more than half the high schoolers these days  :P
The people who smoked pot in my school turned me off axe forever.  They would cover the smell of the marijuana with half a bottle of the stuff.  Bleh

The boneheads that smoked pot at my school would use Febreeze in conjunction with Axe. Basically they smelt so strongly of overpowering fragrances that you could tell that they were trying to hide something whether they looked stoned or not.

The idiots don't realize we still smell it -_- Hahaha ! In one of my classes, one guy thought he was clever by putting his bong in his sweater to smoke and then sprayed axe to "cover it up"... The teachers desk was 5 desks away. Long story short, he got suspended :P

Some peoples kids' I tell you.
 
Today on the bus I heard a guy explaining that they could build a bridge and, if it wasn't high enough for ships to get under it, all they would have to do is dredge so that the water level dropped and then it would be fine. I had to intervene, I couldn't let those people go on thinking that was how the ocean worked.
 
Got to escort BC Ambulance Paramedics delivering a DOA to the morgue...

As a Security Officer, we're not allowed to give access or enter the morgue/crypt anymore because we are not bonded, but the Porters are. Porter showed up to open the morgue, she looked very nervous and uneasy, she very cautiously approached the morgue entrance where the Paramedics were standing by with the body on a stretcher. As she scanned her card and the door opened up, the Paramedic stated:

"Successful suicide. Helium."

The Porter then responded,

"So he's dead right? Because only dead ones go in here."

In the guy's defense he was partly right. IF the bridge were on a river, AND the elevation of the river bottom was sufficiently high enough above the high water level at it's mouth to allow the bottom to be dredged down, AND the resulting increase in water flow didn't cause scouring downstream, or drain the upstream basin. So it is possible. Feasible, no on your life. Jacking up the bridge would be far less expensive.

Reminds me of a call gone wrong that we all heard about at the academy.
They got one of those "check patient" calls we used to get all the time. A lady was known to be despondent over this and that. Her family lived out of town and asked the telephone Operator to check the line. The line was ok, so they sent a crew to check on her.
They got the Super to let them in. They found the lady, apparently lifeless, in the bathtub with evidence of a barbituate O.D., and a suicide note.
Here's where it gets interesting. For whatever reason, the crew decides that rather than lift her out of the tub and take her to the hospital, to call the Coroner instead. We all had the number memorized, and used it a lot. Soon after, the police are notified and arrive to take custody of the body. The crew then departs the scene. Some time later, the coroner arrives. The coroner does his examination and calls for a body wagon to take her to the morgue. This is when the morgue was still on Lombard St., before they shut it down and re-located its long-term occupants to Grenville St.
Just as the removal guys from the funeral home are transferring her onto a drawer tray which slides into one of the stacked coolers, she suddenly shows signs of life. Maybe it was all the jostling, the sudden cold, or the O.D. was starting to wear off. The morgue attendants were understandably upset.
Another ambulance was called - a station was conveniently located over the morgue in those days - and they rushed her to St. Mike's emerg.
Departmental S.O.P's were immediately re-written to transport just about everybody.  :)

Errr, the water level of a river doesn't change, no matter how deep you dredge it.  Water seeks it's own level.
 
Dredging simply allows boats with a deeper draft to pass...it does not lower the water level...(maybe if you dredge hundreds of feet deep without  access to a large body of water....like an ocean)....

Actually, he describing reshaping the entire watercourse so that the level of the river is lower under the bridge, and on a shallower slope for the rest of its course. Feasibility falls under the DUMB column. Likelihood of finding a physical situation on a navigable river where it might be done, about NIL.

Imagine it in an area where there are locks above and below the bridge, and lowering the bottom of the entire section to require one more lock above the bridge and one fewer below it.

How do we get Wainwright to become appealing to NCO's in the battalions?

That is always a good one, for some reason whenever visitors come to the base they seem surprised to find out most people that are posted to Wainwright did not want to get posted here but were forced to.

The original post was about dredging under the bridge, not building locks, which are a series of controlled dams which raise and lower the water level, not the bottom profile.
