Of course you aren't. But you are responsible for your own bad manners.


Some years ago, I invited Herring and his wife aboard my 25' Parker for
a look-see, and then I invited Herring to go out fishing. He snottily
refused both invites. His bad manners, not mine. But don't worry...you
wouldn't be invited under any circumstances.


Harry, all I said was that I couldn't bear the thought of being within 25'
of you for such a long time. I said nothing 'snottily'.

Maybe 36' would have worked, but you never invited me out on the lobsta'
boat.

Why not?
