I spent some time at a cottage when I was a kid. There was a sign from the Ministry of Transportation (M.O.T) at the local marina (run by a first nations band) that said "SLOW RIGHT DOWN / NO WAKE / M.O.T"
I always figured if we didn't slow the boat down enough the sleeping MOT monster would wake up and eat us...
