fleetwood Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) Any idea of the height of the 'top splash'? I remember a joke about kids in a swimming pool, it goes like this --- 'Oh look at little Jimmy he's making wee wee in the water', --- a person answers, --- 'don't worry, you know boys will be boys' --- answer back --- 'but he's doing it from the top splash' --- Now I told that joke here and it fell flat because 'top splash' doesn't mean anything, you have to switch it and say 'high diving board'. Comedian, I am not but I try. Edited January 21, 2013 by fleetwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Drew Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I can give you an answer on this. The Top Splash was at least 50,000 metres high. Maybe more. Certainly not a centimetre less. I know this because it took at least 10 minutes of screaming before I hit the water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
