Mims, I wish I could remember when you and I were not nuts, but I can't. We all did stupid things, in fact, I used to smoke cigarettes, but am now not that stupid. We all know better now, and it is OUR (that means you too, Jimmy) responsability to show the new guys how to do it right, not coddle them. They will all dive on your boat anyway, as there is no other , nor will there be, and if there were it would not be as much fun anyway. I just am tied of being assaulted by the storkes - why do they single me out to toy with? At least the only guy I ever argue with on your boat is Mount, and he is fair game, so don't tell me not to.
