Wilbur ,, if you for some unknown reason happen to bump into me ...
not that you would ever do this ... but just in case...

And I said "Hey, Wilbur, you owe me a new Awlgrip job and that cost
$12,000".

Are you going to pay it ??


He'll no I ain't gonna pay it. That's extortion and you know it. One
little scratch doesn't entitle you to a whole new paint job. You're only
entitled to get the scratch buffed out and painted to match. To be made
whole, so to speak. I can buff and paint with the best of them. I would
pay for a haul-out if necessary and I would paint the boo boo myself.
More likely, I'd be able to do job in the water. You'd get nothing more
from me other than an "I'm sorry for the inconvenience." If you're
gonna live life you gotta take the good with the bad. The most you
should expect is to not be out of pocket because of some idiot damaging
your boat.

See, that's exactly the problem with insurance I'm talking about. Idiots
think if they get a little boo boo they deserve a whole new boat. Then
they complain to high heavens about ridiculous premiums. Sorry but
things don't work that way in the real world. If you want insurance to
pay for extortion then expect to pay confiscatory rates for insurance.
You get what you pay for.

Well then ... my lawyer will be seeking to take your home.

I'm sure it is worth $12,000.

And no .. Wilbur. You are not about to work on my boat. No way.

I want the guy at the marina. The one who brags about the $80,000 dollars
he extorted .. oopps I mean made ... last year doing paint jobs of
sailboats.

Would you really pay $12,000 for a refrigerator box? This is Neal
you're talking about. His home, boat, cat, and all of his body parts
would leave you about $11,700 short.

OK, it's a free country and your choice. So instead of my repairing your
paint job to perfection I would be willing to offer you cash for what my
labor is worth to fix the boo boo. I estimate it would take me about
three hours total to fix some scuffed paint. For what my labor is worth,
about forty dollars an hour, I'd be willing to offer you $120. I'd round
it up to $150 for paint and supplies. You don't think I'm stupid enough
to get gouged for 12 large for a simple scuffed paint job do you? Do I
look like an insurance company to you

Heh, you can probably get his park bench without a lawyer.
