So the first time the cardboard fin is shown its is heading towards two blondes treading water. One blonde splashes the other blonde in the face, and suddenly a blue washcloth is thrown into the scene from where the camera would have been placed. Why would you have a washcloth while swimming at the beach?
shareAt the risk of repeating myself:
A washcloth is attracted to the exact kind of splashing and activity that occurs whenever human beings go in swimming. You cannot avoid it.

It was a washcloth...not the washcloth.
shareWhere, where is that washcloth. Did you see it BenG?

You knew there was a washcloth out there! You knew it was dangerous! But you let people go swimming anyway?
shareYou all know me!
I'll catch this cloth for you, but it ain't gonna be easy! Bad cloth.
It's not like going down to the pond chasing towels or loofahs.
This cloth - smother you whole. A little shaking, tenderizing and down you go.
Now we gotta do it quick, that'll bring back the tourists, that'll put all your businesses on a paying basis.
But it's not gonna be pleasant! I value my neck a lot more than 3000 bucks chief! I'll find him for three, but I'll catch it and clean it for ten!
Now you gotta make up your minds. Gonna stay alive and ante up? Or ya wanna play it cheap, be on welfare the whole winter.
I don't want no volunteers; I don't want no mates. There's too many captains on this island.
Ten thousand dollars for me by myself. For that you get the top, the bottom, the whole damn thing.

Martin, it's all psychological. You yell barracuda, everybody says, "Huh? What?" You yell washcloth, we've got a panic on our hands on the Fourth of July.
shareI honestly only come to this board to read your posts, Phydeaux50. They are brilliantly hilarious!

I come here for intelligent conversations about movies. Guess those days are over.

It looked considerably larger than any normal washcloth found in those waters.
I believe it was a hand towel.
Well this is not a handkerchief! It wasn't any flannel! It wasn't any bath sponge! And it wasn't a hand towel!
It was a Wash Cloth!!

I heard that the extra who gets splashed was a bit precious about getting water on her face, so the washcloth was thrown for her benefit. Why this should be so beggars belief. Obviously, no splash is the easiest answer, but two fanservice girls just sitting there may have been too static a shot. I wouldn't be surprised if they are there because of a late night promise by Dreyfuss. That could have driven the absurdity of the situation.
