Diving or Drowning
A rich young man decided that he would like to do some diving in the sea, so he bought a rubber suit
and all the other things that he needed, and took some lessons at a diving school. Then one day he walked
into the water by himself and began to explore the bottom of the sea.
He saw a lot of beautiful fish and other things, and then, after half an hour, he suddenly saw a man
waving his arms and legs around wildly near the bottom of the sea. He was wearing only a bathing suit.
The rich young man was very surprised to see him, so he took out a plastic notebook and a special pencil,
which could write under water, and wrote, "What are you doing here?"
He showed the notebook to the other man, who then took the pencil and wrote, "Drowning!"
