"He smoked his pipe and chatted to the farmer, who went into the lake in waders".

Great test for his incontinence pants 😉

He was fishing the lake, one assumes he knew it wasn't deep, why panic?

If he'd been an aging hippy he'd no doubt have been smoking a roach.

He was just doing what any old sailor would when their vessel was going down.

Standing to a-tench-ion.

Or maybe he had just dropped off his perch.

If he'd been badly injured he might have needed the attention of a sturgeon.

He was perched on the edge of his seat until rescued.
