Bill and Jim take advantage of global warming by ice fishing and tanning at the same time. They floated out to sea and were never heard from again.

Budget-minded "Village Idiots" & "good 'ole boy Rednecks" Jim Bob and Leroy decide to build an "ice cube canoe for two" and go fishing off the coast of Florida....figuring that the ice would keep their beer stash chilled long enough for the outing...

Do you have the Corp of Engineers phone number ?

Why?

They are spending million to relocating those Alaskan Villages to higher ground. They might know how fast ice would melt in the water today.
