The saying I heard was, "If it floats, flies or f**ks, it's gonna cost you a lot more than you originally planned."

Re: The New Joke Thread

While these statements are generally true, my girlfriend is co-owner of our ship. Make of that what you will. Perhaps being a sailor "Chad" counts for something after all

My dad always said, "Always, - no - never, ever... wait - no, always marry a girl with small hands. It makes your crank look a lot bigger!"

That would be Worster sauce, as in Yucky.

I pronounce the sauce just as I pronounce the place.

I would say wu'ster. But this is the UK we're talking about, it has many dialects. The evolution of dialects is actually a good analogy for genetic evolution - the UK has more variation in dialects than the US for the same reason that Africa has more genetic variation than the rest of the world.

So I guess it’s your turn in the barrel as none of your attached images show for me.

Doesn't Robert's Rules of Internet Order allow thread drift after four pages or as soon as the original post is addressed in at least four valid replies?

Read a book on "How to get rich" by the guy who founded Maxim magazine. One of his recommendations was something like "if it flies, floats or fornicates, you'll save money by renting rather than buying."

[Repeated by a guy who bought a boat because he was tired of chartering.]
