Default Christmas gift suggestion for extreme boat snob

"Thomas Sawyer" wrote in message
...
In the berth next to mine resides the ultimate boat snob. His view is that
99% of all boats are unfit for him and marketed to idiots. He looks down
his nose at everyone elses choice of boat and believes his opinions are
the only ones that are correct. He is irritating to be around, he always
has some snide comment about the way someone does something. I really,
really want to get him a fitting Christmas gift, one that tells him what I
and everyone else think of him. I need some suggestions, so please have at
it. The gift should cost $300 or less and have real impact. Thanks, I know
you guys will come up with something good!

Consider giving him a very nice xmas card, telling him what a nice boat he
has and how much you and the other neighbors value his opinion. There's no
need to spend money on a jerk, and it will do nothing to change his mind. On
the other hand, there might come a time when there's a fire and he's the
only one with the hose.
