I have a large pond that is about 4 feet deep in the center. My Koi had spawned and I was selling some of my "herd". A lady responded and had picked out a particularly nice orange butterfly that she wanted to buy and told me she would stop in on her way to work to pick him up. I spent quite a while chasing him around the pond and through the water lilies before the lady decided that she was going to help. She grabbed the other net, stood on the pond edging and tried to help corral this fish. She was so determined though, that she forgot she was standing on the edge of the pond, leaned too far forward and fell in the pond when she tried to rebalance. She landed right on the plastic crates holding up my pink water lilies and went completely underwater; in her work clothes and with her cell phone. I was so shocked I didn't know if I should laugh or cry. I did manage to catch the fish and she gave me a few extra dollars to cover the cost of the damage. But it would have been worth it anyway, just to see the look on her face when she went in!
