2. I can swim quite well
Those hosers punching all the holes in the boat are on their own.

3. Duct Tape. Mythbusters proved that it works temporarily.

4. Build a boat and save yourself

then maybe you can save some others as well. Its up to you - no one else is going to do it for you.

5. Jump out and swim away.
Build your own boat and don't let hole punchers in.

If you own the first boat, call the police and tell them you want the hole punchers arrested for vandalism.

If you don't, go build your own and as captain of your boat, decide who can float.

7. I don't think your analogy fits completely because I don't know the counterpart to:
"Don't let them distract you and do what you have to do next."

8. Get out of the boat and walk back to the shore.
But that's just Me. I realize that solution may not apply to everyone.

10. Launch the life boats? Send out an SOS...
If no life boats, throw together some rope and wood and make a life raft. Get out of the pool?

14. 1. Shoot the others.
Edited on Sun Sep-12-10 09:43 PM by GliderGuider
2. Use their clothing to plug the holes.
3. Save their bodies for food.
4. Continue your journey.
