    You don't hear this every day

    MARLOW — A legally blind Grady County man drowned Monday after a boating accident on a farm pond, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol reported.

    About 6:25 p.m., Bruce Michael Mullen, 58, of Marlow, was riding a personal watercraft on a 90 acre farm pond in a pasture near Marlow. The watercraft struck a fence that was stretched across the pond and Mullen was knocked into the water and sunk below the surface, troopers said.

    Grady County firefighters and the landowner found the body at the bottom of the pond in about 4 feet of water, troopers reported.

    I have no words for this.
    If we all threw our problems in a pile, and you saw everyone else's problems-- you'd take yours back.

    Four feet of water? Was he a blind dwarf?

    I'm glad I drink water at work, coke would have hurt coming out my nose.
