Did you know that if you start your boat motor, put it in
gear,
then
get into the water and touch the prop with your body, that
it
will
likely cut you?




Absolutely brilliant Kevin.

If you start it, put it in gear and jump in the water the
boat
will
move
away from you and you will not be able to touch the prop. In
fact,
you
won't see that boat again till it runs out of gas or runs
into
something.

I'm not Kevin, but, have you never heard of a line? If you
owned
a
boat, you'd know that it's a very real possiblility that you
can
tie
a
boat to a dock, start it, put it in gear, and because of this
wonder
of
technology called ROPE, the boat remains stationary. By the
way,
because of your stupidity, I take it that you don't realize
that
I'm
making fun of the many posts by Smithers et al., stating the
obvious.


So you have tried that Kevin? Maybe you and Krause can go out
and
give
your
theory a go.

Dumb and Dumber. What a pair.

Really, never have had a boat tied to the dock and put it in
gear?
Oh,
forgot, you don't even HAVE a boat. Well, most people who DO have
boats
have done this. There's several reasons. In current to re-arrange
one
of the lines, is but one. Need more?

So you think that most people who own boats start their boats at
the
dock,
keep the boat tied up, put it in gear and jump in the water to see
if
the
prop will hurt them? Maybe in Georgia....not here Kevin.

So how many fingers have you lost? Does your family still have all
their
limbs?



BTW: It is called a line, not a rope.

BTW, dumb ass, if you READ my reply, you'd see that I've
correctly
called it a LINE......See here, idiot: "I'm not Kevin, but, have
you
never heard of a line?"

A line IS made from "this wonder of technology called ROPE",
that's
probably where your confusion came from, hence, lack of
comprehension.


A boat line is made from rope? Tell me more Kevin.


Okay from dictionary.com:

rope ( P ) Pronunciation Key (rp)
n.
A flexible heavy cord of tightly intertwined hemp or other fiber

And then this, also from dictionary.com

line1 ( P ) Pronunciation Key (ln)

snipped stuff not relevant, like mathamatical terms. BUT, see he

A cable, rope, string, cord, or wire.
Nautical. A rope used aboard a ship

Okay.....so there you have it, line: Nautical: A ROPE used aboard a
ship. Get it now?

What a dumb ass.


No need to get upset and start using profanity.

You said a boat line is made from rope. I asked how so...you have
yet
to
prove it.

LOOK ABOVE!!!!!! What else would the NAUTICAL TERM Line: A ROPE used
aboard a ship tell you????????


I agree that a line is a rope at times.

But you said that lines are *made from* rope.

Quite a difference.

See below, taken DIRECTLY from dictionary.com:

line: ( P ) Pronunciation Key (ln)

Nautical. A rope used aboard a ship

What does that tell you, JimH?


What does it tell me? That a rope becomes a line once aboard a ship or
boat.

It does not say that all lines are made from rope though, as they are not.

Understand?

BTW: End of discussion with you on this because you never let go of things
and you drag them on....and on...and on.........

As suspected. Once proved wrong, you do this. It's happened several
times before.
