Funniest line of the day..........
Just after parading along the Seattle waterfront and while waiting for
scheduled starting times in the tugboat races, a group of 35 tugs was drifting in a roughly assembled cluster. I was aboard "Clydesdale", skippered by Capt. Rob Heay of Port Orchard. "Clydesdale" is a small harbor tug, orginally built for assembling and towing log booms. Compared to the class "A" and "unlimited" (tractor) tugs, "Clydesdale" is a small boat. Some of the Class "A" boats had 30-40 partiers aboard, with music blaring and drinks a-pouring. One such party barge pulled up a few feet from our beam and a liquored-up blonde woman looked at "Clydesdale" and said, "Well, if that isn't just the cutest little thing!" Capt. Heay replied, "You're cuter!" in a tone that embarassed her and sent her staggering up the ladder to the Texas deck. "You know," observed Capt. Rob, "I can think of two times when a man doesn't want to hear a woman say, 'If that isn't just the cutest little thing', and one of them is when she's talking about his tugboat!" |

Thank god it's never happened to me. :) Later, Tom That's because you do not have a tugboat. ;) |
