Found these gems in the back of my closet. Provenance indicates they
were worn 2000 years ago by a fellow fishing next to the Sea of Galilee,
but that provenance may be a hoax.

Thinking of selling them on eBay for about $100,000. They're broken in,
they've been in several oceans, they're holy, and they have an original,
never-duplicated aroma.


Why start the ****, Harry?

What ****?

These are my shoes. I wore them when I went fishing. I have retired from
fishing. Ergo, they are the Shoes of the Fisherman, Retired.

Not only have I worn these shoes while fishing in the Atlantic, Pacific
and Carib, I also wore them while on a trip to northern Israel about six
years ago and, guess what, I likely had them on my feet while we were at
the Sea of Galilee. On the other hand, I didn't fish there.

Earlier today, I noticed that your boy Wayne made a nasty reference to a
poster here, the first I saw upon my return to U.S.A., and, of course,
rec.boats. I must have missed you asking him to "not start the ****."

I haven't made one negative comment so far this year about any other
poster here. I haven't looked through the posts I missed while I was
away, but I wonder, can you make the same claim?


2000 years ago? Not just the shoes stink.
