Well, this sure is some swiss-cheese logic. So what you are saying is go 
ahead and strip a wreck of everything of value and leave the worthless 
stuff to greenie divers? Hmmmm, actually this idea does deserve some 
serious consideration. 

NOW HEAR THIS- Alright all you nogood worthless strokeass shavetail 
PUKES! If any of you greenassholes find anything of value, ANYTHING, you 
are to mark it with a float and immediately turn it over to the guy on 
the boat with the most fucking dives! If you don't like it FUCK YOU and 
go find your own fucking wrecks!

I'll tell you what, Scott. I and a few other guys know of a couple of 
wrecks off of Virgina Beach here which nobody else knows about. And what 
we are going to do is STRIP THEM BARE. And just to annoy you I am going 
to bring up some worthless scraps of metal, just in case someone stumbles 
across it. Normally, we let the loosers get after the wreck after we've 
given it a good working over. But now that I know that folks are 
complaining out there, I guess it would be far better for their delicate 
sensibilities to just not let anyone know the wrecks location. This way 
we get our junk, and no ones feelings will get hurt.

Does this sound like a fair deal?
