What is the mo' factor for this event?

We have a, ahem, term of endearment that is used for certain situations in our family. That term is "mo", and as you can guess, it is a nice way of saying, "hey, you're being a moron." We have noticed over the years that as the testosterone in any given situation increases, the mo' factor also increases, only exponentially. If estrogen is present in copious amounts, it can sometimes lower the mo' factor to a reasonable level, sometimes not, it's kind of hit or miss.

Here was the situation, Logan, Brice and Blake were hanging out in the pool. (Notice no counteracting estrogen is mentioned.) Logan is looking around and realizes, hey it would be cool to bring the deck furniture into the pool and try to get it to float by putting rafts, beach balls, pool noodles, etc, underneath it. So into the pool the furniture goes. Well, apparently that wasn't fun enough, because then one of them got the great idea to have a "party" on the bottom of the pool. About this time along comes Brent, and the mo' factor instantly jumps another 100 points.

"How are we going to breathe on the bottom of the pool since we have no gillyweed?", they begin to ask each other. They decided that the water hose looks something like the hose that goes from a snorkel tank to a mask, so it will probably get the job done. Alas, no, there is too much pressure on the hose to allow the air to pass through, particularly since they all want to sit on the bottom at the same time and pass the hose around like a peace pipe. So someone comes up with the idea to take the blower for the inflatable bed and hook it up to the end of the hose. BRILLIANT!!! This doesn't work either, but they continue to work on it for an hour.

So I ask you, what do YOU think the mo' factor was???
