I take offence to that!!!  George only wishes he were as good looking as
me!!  So lets see, what we have here is a fat, drug using immortal diver.
Would some one like to explain to this dope how many other immortal divers
died of the same stupidity that they got away with for 1000 or more dives.
You are a piece of work aren't you.

What boat do you run.  I want to be sure I never make the mistake of
stepping aboard!!!
