Well, fools and their money are soon parted, but I believe anyone who buys one of these deserves to be hit with some sort of horrific fuel wastage tax, maybe a non-tax deductible charge of, say, $20,000 just for owning such a resource waster. Boats and fuel wastage like this just puts us all deeper in the hole to the Saudi pigs. Here is an even bigger way to get deeper into the hole. How much more should those folks pay? http://www.nice-ventures.com/blog/up...RUISE-SHIP.jpg That is one ugly ship. Looks like a wedding cake. Once I figure out how to use Reggie's picture site, I'll post a picture of a pretty ship. |
