I have a sinking feeling that the lenders think your plan doesn't hold water. That your income won't keep you afloat. Other puns

This thread

OP: "Help! HELP! I'm stuck in a well!!!"
Goons1-4: "Climb! Climb up and take our hands!"
OP: "I'm thinking I should dig... should I dig?"
Goon5: "NO! I was trapped in a well, and digging is a bad idea! Climb out!"
Goons6-8: "Were lowering ropes! Take hold of a rope!"
Goon9: "I've even tied a harness to the end of this one!"
OP: "I can feel the ropes, but I don't want to hold onto them... should I dig?"
Goon10: "No! If you dig, you'll hit water, and then you'll be proper hosed. I should know, I almost drowned."
OP: "I dug a little bit just now, and I haven't hit water. I'm gonna keep digging..."
Goons11-18: "No! Climb! Climb out!"
OP: "Guys, I'm seriously stuck in this well! Help! HELP!!!"
Goon19: "I was trapped in a well once. It took me two years, but I managed to build a climbing machine that pulled me to safety out of a well bucket and a pocket watch. I'm dropping the blueprints, extra buckets, and an assortment of pocket watches."
Goon20: "I've engineered a jet-pack that will rocket you to safety. Stay where you are and we'll lower it down!""
"OP: "Thanks for your help, guys. I'm gonna keep digging. I'll find the Mines of Moria and I'll just walk to the surface."
**Goons1-20 piss in the well**
Goon21: "Guys, seriously... stop peeing in the well.""

I nominate this for the 2016 Golden Wonderhanger awards because clearly this is going to be around all year.

Also which one of you BFC regulars owns this parody account?

Have you considered buying that floating RV and making a meth lab? If it catches on fire, there's plenty of water to help put it out. I think there was a tv show about it.

If this isn't a troll, which I honestly can't tell, I legitimately think you should see a therapist if you think boat or homeless are your only viable options.

Also how are you going to post here if you're a hobo?

OP have you considered getting a submarine instead? That way you only need to pay docking fees when you come ashore and you won't have to worry about ice forming around your hull in winter.

I think we're being too hard on him and offering him few viable alternatives. Give the dog up and share an apartment like a normal person? You monsters.

OP, have you considered riding the rails? It would not only be 100% free, but you would be able to travel to exotic paradises like Detroit and Omaha and you could meet new and interesting fugitives. You could write a memoir of your travels. Call it bindle equity.

I could totally get on that tiny house/living in a van by choice instead of out of poverty like Daniel Norris thing, except I want to have a life with other people in it.

Maybe I can start a kickstarter for some sort of Mississippi river distillery/brewery houseboat and sell tickets to hipsters who want to drink rank microbrews and float down the river.
