It is Friday.... Friday the 13.....
Not being to superstitious...
I kicked a black cat.
Walked under a ladder watching the guy above painting.
Challenged a couple of seagulls to poop on my neighbors boat.
Drank the last of the dregs from a bottle of wine last night.
Spilled salt on the floor.
Considered renaming my boat without the naming ritual....'
Maybe that's is why I looked a little haggard when I got to the mirror this morning...

On your way, scurry up the arm of that hand before you leap. Really freak out the owner of the hand.

How many sailors does it take to change the bulb in the masthead light? None, because ... pick from one of the following
- The captain is too fat for the bosun chair
- The right size bulb isn’t on board,
- The local WM doesn’t carry that brand,
- Amazon has them on back-order.
- Masthead light?

Saw "Stuck in Traffic" and thought that was pretty cool!
I can just hear the conversation; "Where are you?'" asks the guy's boss. "Stuck in Traffic, again. I may not get in to the office for a bit, boss. Sorry." No lie necessary.

In my college days (Way back before cell phones...) the apartment had only one phone. The roommates all knew to say "He's in the library" when mom called.
In college there was a bar named "The Library." No lies necessary-I could honestly tell my parents I missed their call because I was at The Library.In my college days (Way back before cell phones...) the apartment had only one phone.

I wanted to name my Ranger "Bullship." Wife nixed that one. As usual she was right. "Mayday, mayday mayday, this is Bullship..."
GRanger, did you not see "ZombieTsunami" (IIRC) on Sci Fi. They swim, but I'd think they should drown, what with all the holes in them.

In the yacht club locker room, after the big race, a cellphone sitting on a bench in front of a locker, rang. We all stopped our conversations and excited recounts of the race when a guys answers the phone and puts it on speaker.
"Hello?"
"Hi Honey, how'd the race go?"
"It was a great sail and a beautiful day, but we didn't win."
"Aww, I'm so sorry. Anyhow, I have exciting news and I wanted to ask your opinion. I found this great deal on a new dress and I simply love it. Normally it's a $500 dollar dress, but it's marked down to only $475. It's a steal. I'm in the dressing room right now. It looks SOOOO good on me. Can I get it?"
The guy looks around the room his mouth hanging open. Everyone returns his stare waiting for him to answer the question. Some of us are nodding, prompting him to say yes.
"Ah, ok. Sure, you should get it, you deserve it."
"Great, I love you so much.
Oh, and my sister called, and she and Ed want to make an offer on that house they are looking at. It's a really good price, but they don't have the down payment, so she asked me if we could help. What do you think darling? You know they are trying so hard. It's only $15,000 more they need."
"No, you should help your sister if she needs it. Go ahead. It's family, after all."
"That's what I think. I'm so glad to hear you say that.
Anyway, that's not the news though. I was talking to Phyllis, while we were getting our hair done, and she was telling me about some friends of hers who just bought a new boat. It's a beautiful custom boat and it sounded so wonderful, I looked up the boat makers online and guess what! They have a 50 foot katch for sale. It's brand new and marked down 25% from 1.2 million to $800,000. It looks so much more comfortable than our boat. I think we should call them up and lock it in before someone else jumps on it ahead of us. You've been saying you want a bigger boat. What do you think?"
Smiling, the guy looks quickly around the silent room and plunged ahead, "Yeah sure. Go ahead and call them. You can buy it, if that'll make you happy."
"Ohhh! I love you so much, thanks Honey. I'll call them right now. Bye, love you!"
The phone clicks off.
Everyone breathes a collective sigh of astonishment. This guy is wrapped so tight around his wife's finger he can't see the light of day.
He blinks a couple of times, takes a few breaths, then shouts, "Does anyone know who's phone this is?"
