Uh, you weren't one of them, were you?

You might like this- one time, riding back from a regatta with racing
one design in tow, a sail blew out of the boat and draped along the
highway. Fortunately did not blind any cars as it did...

Another of the crew, riding in back, yelled "We gotta go back! That
green and white spinnaker just came out of the boat, and it's in the
bushes back beside the road!"

The owner/skipper/driver replied calmy, "Forget it. That spinnaker sucks
anyway. Let Captain X pick it up... then we'll beat him next time."
