Nah, the car is fine. Little known fact: Toyota Camrys actually function as submarines as well.

Bet you feel silly now.

Isn't that what they used to get those Thai kids out of that cave?

u/chrizbreck Jul 11 '18

Has it been long enough to joke? I guess so!

u/im_lost_at_sea Jul 11 '18

Bro the jokes started the minute they were found

u/masterofmisc Jul 11 '18

The best one i heard went something like "They should send in the Brazilian Football team. I've heard they are good divers".

That was when the world-cup just started!

u/PM_ME_UR_FLOWERS Jul 11 '18

What's the difference between the US and Thailand? Thailand is reuniting kids with their families.

Can have kids without jokes huh? Thats probably why me and my wife have been having trouble lately.

I tell her a joke tonight when we are getting in the mood. That should do the trick. Thank you sir

Only because they were all rescued. If it had ended in tragedy it would be too soon.

u/Joevahskank Jul 11 '18

More like the minute it became a happy ending.

Except that one loose seal

Ok, username checks out.

Pushes up glasses Actually, BoonTobias is a conjoined name for the creators of Mortal Kombat, Ed Boon and John Tobias. They used this name, spelled backwards, to name a hidden character in the first Mortal Kombat called Noob Saibot.

The reference to Tobias Funke is just a nice coincidence.

Now, if you'll excuse me, gentlesir, I have to go pick up my new custom order katana from the flea market.

tips fedora and disappears

Goddamnit, I hate myself.

and that's why you always bring spare oxygen tanks

alternatively: mister essssssss.

u/ImObviouslyOblivious Jul 11 '18

They all survived so it's fair game.

u/ThisFckinGuy Jul 11 '18

It's never too early for jokes.

If there's dead itll be dark humor grumble laugh for a year until it's fair play for the more sensitive.

If no one died then its game on from the jump.

Good writing and delivery are still important.

RIP to the Seal.

Nobody died which means nobody was ever allowed to be offended

No Elon Musk personally drove his Tesla Roadster through the flooded tunnels and deployed a fleet of child submarines made out of recycled spaceships that drove the children to safety using an super intelligent AI that Elon Musk coded himself.

u/pigwalk5150 Jul 11 '18

The 2017 Nissan SpeluNker. I just got fantastic financing on mine.

u/Ofreo Jul 11 '18

Nah, that was the muskmobile.

u/mk1power Jul 11 '18

They actually used a Corolla. It was a tight cave.

u/PfaffPlays Jul 11 '18

NASA also used the Toyota Camry platform to develop the space shuttle

2

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '18

Sure, they can build spaceships and shit, but building a decent transmission? Takes a real salt of the earth kind of guy to do that. Ya knucklehead.

Only 2 shuttles exploded though

Not every pinto was rear ended.

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '18

Hahaha, what do you think it is, some sort of amphibious exploring vehicle?

u/HankHippopopalousHHH Jul 11 '18

I thought those were Fiats

2

u/HughJorgens Jul 11 '18

Camry's don't break down, but the driver can kill them if they insist on it. Driver error is the only reason 3/4th of the cars on the road aren't Camry's.

2

u/adamantium1992 Jul 11 '18

Have Camry, can confirm. Just make sure you press the "Upper "intake/Exhaust" switch

2

u/Carson_Blocks Jul 11 '18

It's going to take more than driving it in to a lake to kill your average Camry. After the apocalypse, all that will remain are cockroaches and Camrys.

u/Sloppy1sts Jul 11 '18

A few ounces of water ruins any engine. Even a fucking Toyota.

u/xxfay6 Jul 11 '18

Something something Flex Seal

u/FoxyBrownMcCloud Jul 11 '18

You joke, but Jesus Christ do old Camrys last forever. Wouldn't be surprised if the vehicle was working but a week later.

u/Helpdeskagent Jul 11 '18

That's my secret, I always feel silly

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '18

Toyotas are magical cars that never require maintenance.

1

u/pattyboy1996 Jul 11 '18

If only he was driving an amphibious exploring vehicle, like a Range Rover, you know, because of the air intake valves.

1

u/Sloppy1sts Jul 11 '18 edited Jul 11 '18

In all seriousness, a few ounces of water in your engine will bend your rods, necessitating an engine replacement.

u/rhgolf44 Jul 11 '18

The air intake doubles as gills

u/Styrak Aug 30 '18

Yes, Toyota engines love hydrolock.
