Well, there are a few over the top. I remember a "classic boat show"
where we were admiring an all brightwork sailboat, listening to the
owner's story of how he was just able to finish the last round of work
so he could launch for the show. I commented that it was nice that at
least he's in the water for the last month of the season, and he
said, "Oh no ... we're hauling out tomorrow to get back to work!"

For some reason that brings to mind those clear plastic couch covers
that a saw in friend houses sometimes. Beautiful furniture except for
two things. Too shiny. Can't use it.
