I'd pay real money to watch that!
-- Keith __ Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. --P.J. O'Rourke, Civil Libertarian " As an experiment to test whether JAX believes what he says, I propose: JAX come sailing here in N. Florida in thunderstorms of MY choosing. He will get a choice of various boats but we remove any grounding system and replace them with a system where he completes the circuit across his chest. Prior to sailing (while I remain on shore videotaping for everyones amusement), he takes out a term life insurance policy with me as beneficiary for gretaer than the value of the boat plus $50,000 (I will pay for this policy). After emerging unscathed from each storm, i will buy him dinner and pay his hotel bill for the night (we have to have a thunderstorm each day I pay). After only 11 storms, i will thank him, pay his plane ticket cost plus $1000 and agree that he is a great sailor. He can then go back and tell everyone what cowards those Florida rednecks are and I will agree. Furhtermore, If JAX is worried about sailing in thunderstorm wind (I am) then he can use a powerboat with a suitably tall outrigger. If JAX truly believes what he says, he should jump on this opportunity to make a fast $1000, get at least 11 days paid for in FL and get to go sailing for free. This offer is only good till Sept 10 because then storms start to taper off in intensity. He must agree to hold me and the boat owner blameless for any harm that befalls him due to lightning. So JAX, put up or shut up. |
