Dropping one in a lake

I was on holiday last year in the US, and was swimming in one of the Great Lakes when I urgently needed to drop one. I had three options:

1 - get out of the water and run the half mile or so to the toilet block

2 - make like a cat and dig a hole in the sand dunes (the beach was pretty quiet!)

3 - drop my shorts in the water and let rip there and then

I chose option 3. Interestingly, because of the buoyancy afforded by the water, the turd (which was impressively long!) didn't snap under its own weight as it would do under normal circumstances. Instead it emerged intact and tumbled slowly and gracefully to the lake floor in a manner akin to an astronaut in orbit.

I had to make sure I didn't catch it in my shorts though!
