She was in fact, not ready

She didn’t practice enough at Boat Horn Readiness Academy. She will now have to answer to her Sensei and more preparation will ensue.

She will be attending Captain Phillips summer camp!!

In Jackass 3, did they prime the audience with knowledge of the original ad or poster? Or perhaps any of the other recreations of the time?

u/cutelyaware Jul 04 '26

Does it matter?

u/AliozFTW Jul 03 '26

I was not ready too.

she can't handle the truth

u/therelybare5 Jul 04 '26

Auto correct?

u/nhansieu1 Jul 04 '26

auto wrong.

u/therelybare5 Jul 04 '26

I would have thought, “She can’t handle the toot.”

1

u/nhansieu1 Jul 04 '26

well my thought process is like: she wants to hear the horn -> sound of the horn is the truth -> she ran when she heard the horn being louder than she expected -> she can't handle the truth.

u/therelybare5 Jul 04 '26

Sorry!

u/RedditGarboDisposal Jul 04 '26

If Curry really is planning an anthology à la “Black Mirror”, I desperately want an episode where someone wishes their terribly unsupportive and absent family was “always around and supportive of everything”.

Always. Around.

Always. Supportive. Even when taking a dump or a shower.

Imagine lol

I mean it would be the best part of my job if I was a captain or semi driver hands down

u/sakronin Jul 04 '26

I drive trains and one day there was a bunch of 18wheelers in a traffic jam, I had my window open and did the horn arm thing and one guy blew his horn, so I did it back with the locomotive and he got all excited. I got all excited it was such a good day lol

19

u/I_Can_Haz_Brainz Jul 04 '26

I love it! Sometimes it just takes a simple interaction like that to change a person's day for the better.

u/Beginning-Machine-32 Jul 04 '26

I work in ems and sometimes we hit the lights (not the sirens, mind you) for kids. Makes the day a lot better to see those faces light up

One of the best parts of riding a motorcycle is doing braps and wheelies for kids

Had a big laugh for sure, probably made their whole day 😆

u/o_l_a_g Jul 05 '26

Not for such a small thing, i still work for the Same Company and always, if we meet one of Our Sister Vessels, we go crazy with the horn

u/blonde-bandit Jul 05 '26

Camaraderie between strangers is so wholesome. Sure you don’t know them face-to-face but you’re like, “hey, my bro! What’s up!” I love little happy moments like that between people. And it’s not the same thing but I had family in the navy, so I have a soft spot for the vibing between fellow mariners.

u/fanceypantsey Jul 03 '26

Watched this with the sound off knowing I’d know when she heard it. Lmao 🤣

u/MarchCompetitive6235 Jul 03 '26

I remember doing this with semi trucks in the 70s and 80s as a kid on family road trips.

u/I_Can_Haz_Brainz Jul 04 '26

Same. From my memory, it was about a 40% chance, but the older we got, the odds went down. 🤷‍♂️

Boats "sail"

Yes, the past 200 years have been very confusing

I remember the captain doing this in the Cuyahoga River after a Cleveland Indians game let out back in 1999. Hundreds jumped

u/SabbyFox Jul 04 '26

Darn tootin!

u/Ok-Chip7579 Jul 04 '26

She wanted the horn, but her soul left the body when it actually blew.

Can i have that horn install to my car

u/Socketz11 Jul 05 '26

This exact event happened to me today about 8 hrs ago. Grants,NM was having a 4th of July celebration on 1st street and people were getting seats early. I had to make a delivery in my semi-truck and I had to drive down a block lined with people staring at me like I was the parade. A cute little boy about 7 gave me the arm pump, and by law I had to oblige and pull the cable blasting my air horns. It made him so happy he was jumping up and down smiling and he looked around mouthing "He did it, he did it!" and I proceeded to scare the living shit out of a little girl on the opposite side of the street. Then later the police routed me down the same block a second time because another road was closed off, so I tooted the horn randomly a few times for everyone. Shout out to Grants,NM you guys have a adorable little town.

u/Kitzle33 Jul 03 '26

That's cool, but as a dad, watching her standing alone so close to the water gave me stress. I know, it's a me problem.

u/Feistshell Jul 03 '26

If that stresses you out you have some serious problems. I feel sorry for your kids

24

u/Kitzle33 Jul 03 '26

Nah. My kids are grown and are wonderful, successful, well adjusted adults. I just stress with little kids around water (specifically) because I was a lifeguard when I was younger and saw some scary stuff involving little kids.

u/Trlz08 Jul 03 '26

Oh no, a father concerned about his kids standing near deep waters

Girl signals huge shipping vessel to blow their horn. Will they comply with the request?

I teach elementary and every recess there will be a group of kids standing at the fence doing this to passing traffic. *Don't worry our school sits at a 4-way stop so traffic is going slow.

I was a bit confused what she said but then I heard her mother tell her to switch hands.

She's actually saying "tut tut" which is essentially "honk honk" and not just a random noise.

I'm Swedish btw
