Two teenagers were rescued from the Australian flood waters after they tried to use a blow-up doll as a flotation device.



The couple, both aged 19, were found by rescuers clinging to a tree after falling off the doll on Victoria's Yarra River.



They were told off by police who warned that the blow-up toy was not a recognised flotation device.



So far 31 people are known to have died in the floods that have hit Queensland, Australia in the last two weeks.



The township of Grantham, 60 miles west of Brisbane, is thought to have been worst hit by the waters which swept through the town without warning.



Meanwhile across Brisbane, 11,700 homes and 6,000 businesses in 50 suburbs were inundated, and a further 14,000 properties damaged as flood waters peaked.

I'm not surprised that they got told off by the police. Some things like that are only meant for swimming pool toys, not exactly flood current life savors.
 
Umm....a blow up doll is a sex toy. You'd get some weird looks if you took that to a public swimming pool.

I know this sounds mean... But if someone was stranded in water whilst clinging onto a blow up doll, I would be pissing mesel' laughing

I'm sorry. I wonder if the police laughed about this after they told them off? XD
 
Wonder what part of the doll they were clinging to before it decided to go bottoms up on them.
