Uh, where do you plan to "drill a hole"?


I wuz kinda wondern' that myself....


==================================

True story follows: A friend of mine in Connecticut had a college kid
maintaining his 40 foot sailboat one summer. Friend gets a call one
afternoon from the kid explaining why there is now a bolt in the
shower sump. It seems the sump had not been fully draining, so our
maintenance hero decided to drill an additional drain hole - right
through the bottom of the boat as it turned out. Not quite knowing
what to do with the resulting artesian well, he tapped the hole for a
stainless machine screw, put some bedding compound on it, and called
my friend for further instruction.
