The average boat owning idiot.
"Maxprop" wrote in message link.net... "Gogarty" wrote in message ... In article . net, says... Absolutely. My father was fond of saying: "This isn't a dress rehearsal." His point being that one lives life or one does not. You can't take your money with you, and I sure as hell have no great desire to pass it one to my kid and screw her up. We initially thought of naming our boat "SOCI" with a sedilla on the C. But we thought it might be unncessarily provocative. Short for Spending Our Children's Inheritance. I've seen similar names, such as "Our Kids' Inheritance" and "Leaving Nothing Behind for the Kids." The last one is a puzzlement--can you imagine calling that in when asking for a slip? Max Asking for a slip? And that alone doesn't embarrass you? Begging to pay big bucks to tie up to two piles and a pier squeezed in among other losers while having your boat attacked by stray electricity, water polluted with sewage and fuel and oil, subjected to roaches, noise, fumes, rats, cats and dogs ****ing on your lines. The very least of your worries is how stupid the name of your boat is, I should think. Real sailors anchor or moor out and take a dinghy to shore. Why on earth would you pay money to support any operation that treats you like scum and charges an arm and a leg for it. Ya gotta be a masochist. Wilbur Hubbard |
