[[note]]It's when Bugs rows a boat, which is tied to shore and is propelled back but [[RuleOfFunny Bugs treads water anyway]], to Pirate Sam's ship. Sam boards the boat but sees the oars on the ship stairs. So he swims out to the ship, retrieves the oars, swims back to the rowboat and rows his way to the ship.[[/note]]
