Hailing Port
 
Heard from a friend who just made the east coast run from MA to FL. He
was sitting on his boat, enjoying a brewski and happened to notice the
transom of another boat docked near him. Below the name, where the 4"
hailing port is normally placed, read "Earth".

Now that I've thought about the above, I realized that it seemed
humorous to me until I noted the hailing port on my neighbor's boat:

"Jupiter"

Uranus? Isn't that in the Upper US?

Do I really have to check?

Perhaps a good hailing port for your wife's boat would be Venus and yours
Mars.

I bought her a copy of the updated re-release of "Women are from Venus,
Men are from Mars" last Christmas. The best thing that came of it was
that she really zeroed in the the men need a cave deal. It's one of the
reasons I got to spend at least half of the past summer living on the boat.

Yes. The Northeast. Some people call it "Blue Country". And we all know
what comes from Uranus.

It's a classic, horribly non-PC movie that for it's day, was right on
the cutting edge of humor. Think Saturday Night Live when it was
funny going one further.

In particular the Spanish Lesson scene. Laugh out loud funny.

Look it up in a video store - you'll get to see Chevy Chase in the
early days.

Isn't that a blue state?

Uranus is only blue when its really cold.
It's more typical for Uranus to be red.

I think there must be a "Semper Fi" or two in every port.

I've never seen a Semper Fi. I have seen Jarhead, Leather Neck, Devil
