Man With Olympic Fever Tries To Swim To America From France, With Predictable Results

http://www.gapyear.com/news/180402/olympics-epic-fail

Just getting swept with some Olympic spirit and telling your friends that you're gonna swim from France all the way to America for a total of 3,594 miles. His friends let him go because they thought he was joking. I mean who would actually think their friend was serious about this? Maybe me because I have a couple of friends who you wouldn't classify as "smart" but that's just me. Anyway, what happened to Ryan Lochte's protege? He was rescued by lifeguards about 300 yards out from where he started. Nicely done big guy, nicely done. I don't know where this ever sounded like a good idea. Like it would've sounded better if you told people you were gonna take a life raft there. At what point when you're swimming do you look around and say, "Fuck, this was probably a terrible idea"? I don't know because normally it doesn't get to that point. You may not have gotten to swim across the Atlantic but at least you made the list of epic asshole fails on the internet. See, there's a silver lining in everything.
