So you've read.


Well yes, recently I've read that it's advisable to avoid certain
unscrupulous deadheads in the Seattle area...or as you call them,
diqueheads.

Why are you so concerned? You're not Skipper. And even the real Skipper
never had enough money to buy any sort of large cruising boat. I
remember the jerkwad regaling us about screwing some pathetic boatseller
out of a week's use of his boat, on the ruse that he wanted to buy the
clapped out old hulk. And, of course, that story was b.s., too.

I remember that escapade. Believe it was in Alaska.
That 'original Skipper' was quite a piece of work.
I can't imagine why the 'cheap imitation' would want to pretend to be him.
