What’s Wrong with these Pictures?
Yesterday 100s of frozen people stood on the beach for over 2 hours to watch a bunch of people (who had been at Keenan’s Irish Pub since the day before) take the “Leprechaun Plunge” into the frigid 37° Atlantic Ocean. Some call them brave, I can’t get past the word “crazy.” I can’t find a rational explaination why anyone would want to do this. I don’t like going in the water until it’s good and warm by the end of July. Well, hope they had fun. I’m wondering how many of them had frost bite or hypothermia. I’m pretty sure the majority of them have major hangovers!
