"You might be a cruiser ....."

As Jeff Foxworthy would say "You might be a cruiser if the munchies during Happy Hour constitutes your dinner".


"You might be a cruiser if you arrive at the supermarket pushing the same grocery cart you left with last week".


"You might be a cruiser if your key ring has a yellow floatie attached to it".

If you think that it is real COOL that there are places that you can leave the water on while bushing your teeth, ......... you might be a Cruiser!

Re: "You might be a cruiser ....."

You might be a cruiser if you drive a dinghy to the grocery store and don't even own a car.

You might be a cruiser if...

when you remove your sunglasses, your face looks like a raccoon in reverse.

YMBAC if you've owned your dink for seven years and you've never seen it deflated.
