Hey, Mark, I really don't see what you're upset about. As far I as can see
these motorized jet foot pontoons offer a distinct advantage over regular
Pestilent Water Craft: as one passes between you and a paddling buddy, you
can each grab an ankle and make a wish, like with a turkey bone!

In fact, I think they should be standard safety equipment for kayaks;
simply strap them on either side of your boat. Not only do they serve as
S******s for stability in surf, but they are motorized to get you out of
the danger zone more quickly. Wow! Sea****s, the next generation! 

Ducking and running for cover,

I agree! It makes placing the piano wire across the canals much less tide
sensitive.
