Taking the plunge

So this half a boob we call Flaherty decides he wants to take a swin in the Hudson River. This kid is half off his rocker and isn't takin serious by anyone. One day while working at a trade show on pier 94 a few of the guys start talking about how some people in the neighborhood have swam from pier to pier. Now this water is filthy mind you. Flaherty starts to stick his chest out and tell people how he can do it with no problem. The other workers are breaking his balls telling him that he's full of shit. Rob tells them that he will do it for $100.00 bucks. News of this spreads all over the piers and about 30 guys come over to throw money in to see this. Flaherty then tells the guys that he will swim from one pier to the other with nothing but his underwear on for $300.00. Again everyone throws more money in to see this. Flaherty takes his clothes off and dives into the filthy Hudson River water. LOL what this moron didn't realize is that the tide is low. As Flaherty dives in half his body literally goes into the mud of the Hudson. All you can see is his feet sticking out of the water. He manages to break free from the mud and starts to swim/walk to the other pier. Flaherty is so tired by the time he gets to the other side that he can't pull himself out of the water. That's not a problem because by the time he got to the other side the NYPD and FBI are waiting for him. They take him downtown and question him to make sure he wasn't trying to plant a bomb. After some take with the other guys on the pier they release him. Funiest part of the whole story is that the guys took all of the bet money and he didn't get a cent. Im telling you that you can't make this stuff up. LOL only on the westside.
