Reminds me of a Riddle

How can you tell if your wife or your dog is your best friend?

Lock them in the trunk of your car for an hour and see which one is happy to see you when you let them out.

Speaking of dogs,

I remember some old jokes of why dogs are better than women.
And, ladies don't get mad at me as & didn't create these jokes, I only passed them on:

1. The later you are, the happier the dog is to see you.
2. Dogs don't get jealous if you talk to another dog.
3. If you come home with the scent of another dog on you,
your dog finds it interesting.
4. You can beat your dog & it will still love you!

As a fairly new sailor, I'm constantly surprised by how many women have been turned off to sailing and have stories of being out with husbands and boyfriends who yell and are impatient. I use my boat for dating and the first thing I do is put my date at the wheel and have her maneuver under power, then later under sail. It's an empowering thing and probably the easiest job on the boat, so long as I'm watching for potential hazards. When it comes time to tack, I provide simple instructions and she takes control of the process; She determines when to initiate the tack and informs me accordingly. If she blows the tack, I smile and we both laugh. We get the boat back underway and then discuss why that didn't work so well.

To Ron's point, gentleness and patience is an aphrodisiac. Maybe that's why some guys yell so much on boats - they're "frustrated!" And I don't mean about the sailing.

Other rule for me is, never blog about the times I'm out with women. What happens on the water...

JR,

Can you add a few more unabbreviated pronouns , so the rest of us all know what your response is.......?

Forums are not the same as texting, these require substance, thanks.

Otherwise known as get-home- itus.....not a texting or sexting at all....but something every pilot or boater should fear.
