I thought this was rather funny. quote:
John Morillo told The Windsor Star that Monday night’s swim from Windsor, Ontario, to Detroit, was “really stupid” and said in retrospect he shouldn’t have done it. He was cited for being intoxicated in a public place and released from jail Tuesday. “I was drinking, but I wasn’t really drunk,” Morillo, 47, of Windsor, said Tuesday. “The thing is, I’ve been telling people I’m going to swim across the river for years and they’re like ’yah, yah, blah, blah, you can’t make it.’ So, I don’t know, last night I just decided it was the time to go.” Morillo made it across to Detroit, getting out of the water near downtown’s Renaissance Center, and was swimming back when he was found about 12:50 a.m. Tuesday by the U.S. Coast Guard. “The harbour master was extremely mad at me,” Morillo told the Windsor Star. “I don’t know, maybe they pulled him out of bed or something.” Why would someone want to swim to Detroit anyway? Maybe he heard the city was having problems and wanted to help out?
