LOL! Just the other day, after casually mentioning to my wife about a boat trying to find its way into my barn, she (equally casually, but a bit off topic) mentioned she had recently checked the load in her 38 cal. bedside companion…..for a moment I didn’t know quite what to think……
Someone contact the owner of that customized Jag in a previous post. Have him buy the Streamliner and customize it into a lapstrake. THEN he could have one hell of a setup. LOL (Shhhh,I actually I like the Jag. Towing the Streamliner behind it would look even better than his current setup).
Cheer up people. Our wives didn’t say no to cars, planes, narrow gauge trains, or ride mowers, now did they? Plenty of room yet to move about. But if it must be a boat, hey, there’s always an Amphicar. Just keep the props in the trunk, and for goodness sake, don’t EVER let her catch you doing a splash-in. ‘Cause she’ll have you wearing cement shoes for the next one.
