As long as we're afloat in the water and don't have to protect the
internals from outside pressure, many people won't mind the holes...

  Isn't there a bit of a contradiction there?  "Afloat in the water" but with
holes is more commonly referred to as "sinking", isn't it?

  And even if we weren't in the water at all, it's still worth patching holes.
It keeps the magic smoke in.

Not if the holes are above the waterline. ;-)

Oh, is that what it was?  And I always thought it was steam from the
built-in steam engine...

You mean our float was attacked by another hippo?
I was wondering where all these holes were coming from. :-)

On a windy Wednesday, the 10th day of May, 2006, Bobby McNulty's computer deigned to emit the following stream of bytes:

Yes, those hippo floats are a nuisance.  They should be banned from all
the amusement parks, especially Disney...  Let them use real hippos.
