DM -"When Lakeem's friends dared him to jump in a puddle in his brand new training shoes, the worst he thought would happen was that his sparkling white and blue footwear would get a little dirty.
But he didn't bank on what seemed to be a couple of inches of surface water being quite so deep.
In an hilarious video clip on YouTube, the American teenager's attempts to entertain his friends backfire spectacularly as he ends up getting a soaking... [in the video] He smiles to his watching friends and is heard laughingly say "I'll do it for the kids" as he leaps forward. But instead of making a tiny splash, he disappears below the surface of the puddle and is completely submerged in the deceptively deep puddle. is friends say that they didn't realize it was a puddle and had bet Lakeem a dollar to jump in it."
DM -The rescue was precarious as no one knew whether the hole would expand, swallowing more people. The fact he dislocated his shoulder in the fall didn't help either. A Missouri father was hoping for a hole-in-one when he set out for a day of golf on Friday - but he didn't think he'd end up the one in the hole. St Louis mortgage banker and avid golfer Mark Mihal was with three friends at the Annbriar Golf Course near Waterloo when he suddenly disappeared into the turf on the fairway of the 14th hole. The 43-year-old fell into a bell-shaped enclosure below the green that measured 15 feet deep and 10 feet wide, surprising his golf pals and the course management who said this was the first time anything like this had happened in Annbriar's 20-year history. 'I noticed this anomaly in the fairway and went to have a look but, by the time I took one step, I was gone, I was underground,' Mihal told MailOnline. 'When I went through (the opening) I couldn't see anything, I didn't know how far I was going or what I was going to hit. 'He said, after plummeting through the earth, he landed on a pile of mud in a cavernous space that could have fit up to 10 people. 'I was just lying on the side of the mound,' he said. 'There was some room in there, it was sort of like a room or a cave. It wasn't confining. It was very dark, though after a while my eyes got used to it. But I couldn't look up because there was stuff still falling.'
You know who doesnt think falling into the puddle/hole/whatever is that funny? The guy who was going up to putt on fourteen when he blinked and then wound up in the earth . Probably thinking that falling into a bottomless pit of water is a walk in the park compared to noticing an "anomaly" on the fairway then falling into a puddle of mud in the earths crust. Two stories today with people falling into the earth and they couldn't be any more different. Not too sure how I'd react to being in the golf guys shoes. What I do know is that with all these sinkholes popping up (falling in?), I'm gonna be walking around like Indiana Jones when he's trying to spell Iehovah (or Jehovah for you saps who don't know its spelled with an I)
P.S. the kid filming needs to get his laugh in check
