Give him a break, Wayne. It's the only trick the old has-been can
manage to remember. His Momma should have taught him some manners.

You'd think.

Unnecessary roughness, 15 yard penalty.

Do not pass go.

Now that was funny.

What? My line or Wayne's inability to keep a sports metaphor straight
for two sentences?

Harrie, your lines are *always* the funniest!

I've been out boating seven times since the beginning of the season here
this year.

That's what I mean about you having the funniest lines!

Almost everybody who dropped out mentioned
fuel costs as either the main reason or one of the more important
reasons for cancelling."

I've noticed on the river in front of my home this year, that while the
number of boats hasn't seemed to decrease, the size and obvious cost of
those boats seems to have dramatically increased. Some of these boats
belong over on Lake Michigan rather that a medium sized inland river. Not
many small boats pulling water skiers. One boat running two very large
outboards and going well over the 45mph speed limit on the river. I'm
guessing that these people are saving on the cost of trailering to bigger
water and taking advantage of less small boat traffic due to gas costs.
Can't wait 'till the water level drops and these "new to this stretch of
water" boaters, start running up on the big sand bar across from my place.
It's soft enough that no one gets hurt or damages boat, but watching them
get out of the boat and push is always interesting. But then, no one has
hit it, going at the speed these idiots are running.

No shoot. I get hit up at the stop lights and parking lots all the time
to sell the '79 Diesel Rabbit I bop around town in. SUV louts the bunch
of 'em....

I love it. Every time fuel costs go up, my single diesel trawler's
value goes up. Fuel is probably the least cost of cruising for me.
Insurance and maintenance are way up there, dockage also.

I have a friend who used to own one of those. Gawd, what a diesel stench
in that car. Worse in a care ever. Sounded like a cement mixer, too. But
he did get good mileage. He never could get a girl to go out with him
twice, though, because the diesel smell permeated everything.
