Great news, everyone: we found the best idea ever.

UK man Mick Carroll was passing through the small town of Market Drayton on Monday when he happened upon a man gliding down the local canal on a homemade boat — pulled by a tiny, tiny tugboat.

He is a marvel of human creativity and an inspiring sight to behold.

According to Carroll's Facebook post, the man exclaimed, "Just when you thought you'd seen everything!" as he floated regally downstream.

"Don't ya just love eccentrics?" Carroll wrote.

Yes. Yes we do.
