Funnel contraption attached to a pole?

[shaker]

This morning I saw a guy walking towards the river with what looked like a metal, funnel shaped contraption attached to a 20 foot aluminmum pole. In his other hand was a pail. WTH is that???

I have no idea but it sounds extremely suspicious haha

Doing water sampling..

Is the river close to a Golf Course??

[adempsey]

Collecting golf balls? Of course that wouldn't make much sense if the river you're talking about doesn't run through a golf course

This thing looked more like a weapon than something to take samples. The guy was in his 70's I'd guess.

 

Also, no golf courses in the area.

was there anyone following him carrying a keg of beer

A Guy in his 70's with a 20 foot long funnel for kegging? Thats gotta be a first.

 

 

Maybe its for his ears so he can hear people you know an Ear Trumpet?
