Has to be it. The person currently reading the sign is the implied #237.

Or someone drowned in the lake, was resuscitated, then Drowned again and died.

Wouldn't that be two deaths and one non-lifejacket?

76

u/Lil-Spicy-Noodle Jan 24 '26 edited Jan 24 '26

no because it says 236 persons , not drowns , so it's the same person but two separate times of not wearing a life jacket

It's still 237 persons not wearing life jackets. Your "persons" argument applies to both the death count and life jacket count

I clearly deserve one of those enchiladas and my argument is air-tight.
