A friend of mine was walking down a deserted Mexican beach at sunset. As he walked along, he began to see another man in the distance. As he grew nearer, he noticed that the local native kept leaning down, picking something up and throwing it out into the water. Time and again he kept hurling things out into the ocean.

Apparently, this guy never heard of the Law of Unintended Consequences.

I've seen a variation of that story... it took place in California with a homeless guy throwing horseshoe crabs back into the water, and the guy was laughing at him and mocking him. But he answered the same way.
