Comedy = what did one kayaker say to the other kayaker? "I'm so relaxed and at peace because those big fast boats are watching out for me."
You probably can think of other comedy lines.
Conspiracy: Is that what's going on here? Celebrities, politicians, the very wealthy, the "good 'ole boy network", and those that have "connections" of various types are just a few of those that could quash a story. Buying off alleged victims or witnesses or others. We've all heard about it and some of us have seen it happen. Somehow either the story is not reported, victims fail to pursue the issue, nobody saw it and/or it just goes away. No investigations. No fines or tickets. No publicity. Not a statistic. If there is a police/fire/EMT dispatch like Lin says, the incident might be in the log as,
Nothing found or
"Gone on arrival" or a similar entry.
Look at it this way. Here's an analogy. Money talks and Imus doesn't. It was the sponsors that pulled out of the Imus shows and ultimately lead to his firing. Sticks and stones can break your bones but names can never hurt you, right? Unless you get influential people involved. Then the money gets you fired and dictates program content. Heck if that can happen why not something more simple? For instance killing a story about a go fast boat flipping over dumping 3 people in 38 degree water.
Another reason that you can not trust the statistics about all those speed related boating accidents.
