* Hand him a claymore and tell him it's a flotation device - all he has to do is squeeze the handle quickly a couple of times?
* You're a FAC, tell him you're going to remove him from the water with a 500lbs device and the laser beam is for decoration?
* Tell him there's a Great White shark in the water next to him and he's not interested in "Professional Courtesy"?
