One of the 237 that didn't wear life jacket un-drowned or found a jacket during drowning?
- One guy needed two
- Number 237 drowned without lifejacket but wasn't a person.
- 237 people swam in the lake without a life jacket. 236 of them drowned.
  
  And 0 people swam in the lake with a life jacket! What an unsuccessful sign!
  
  That guy? ~~Albert Einstein~~ Michael Phelps.
- Nah, someone put a life jacket on a dead body and threw it inside the lake and it came back to life.
  
  99.578% of people that swim there drown.
- Same as that riddle about people coming back from the moon
  
  And the fresh diminutive footwear

Wait where’s the extra one come from?
- Didn't read the sign, probably drowning without a life jacket to this day
- It could be you! ⛈️
- Must have drowned in a different lake

237: Jason Vorhees
- If you're going to go swimming at Crystal Lake, I feel like drowning is the least of your troubles.

I mean the vast majority of people swimming don't where life jackets.
- Especially the ones who drown.
  
  I'd like to make that point.
- Generally in lakes it's more people boating who drown. They are far from shore and can get hurt in a capsize easily
  
  Also having potentially lot of clothing on, making it harder to swim
- There life jackets. There castle.
  
  “Why are you talking like that?”
- I'm embarrassed to confess, but I also don't wear a life jacket when I swim. Hell, most of the time I prefer to leave the swim suit behind.
  
  Is drowning naked more or less embarrassing than just regular drowning?

Reminds me of Kern river, but the undertow kills people wearing life vests too

Schroedinger's lifejacket.

Hrmmm... who wants to be FIRST!? 🥇🏆

Or, they only collect the dead ones from the surface. There's probably a veritable mountain of lifejacketless corpses on the silt.
- You must've misread the sign. All the casualties were without lifejacket.
  
  Clearly because the floating corpses were being carried away by birds, so only the sunken ones were left to be found!

I can float on water if I lay on my back..
- Hmm.. Do you weigh the same as a duck?
  
  What about very small rocks?
