DAMN, this thread is over-run with pacifists. No fun at all

Almost left an American sailboat I was crewing on when crew member said
he'd draw his gun if someone tried to steal his camera! I rudely
suggested MY life was worth a bit more than HIS camera.g

It would have been more accurate to say that your life was worth a bit more
TO YOU, than his camera was TO YOU. Your value to him may have been a lot
more than the camera, or possibly not depending on how well he liked you at
the moment ;-)

Kind of like two guys out walking, and encountering a BIG Bear.....
Both started running, but one tripped the other, and as he kept going
stated, that he only had to faster than his companion........

It could've been a Hasselblad or a Leica, yes? Besides, the guy said
he'd draw his gun - not use it - he may have meant charcoal sketching
it for sale in port. Paranoid Canadians! No wonder they don't get to
carry guns. ;-)
