Forgive the temporary hijack here. There is a dead coyote and a dead lawyer laying in the road. What is the difference? There are skid marks in front of the coyote.
A guy walks into a bar and throws down his briefcase,He says"Lawyers are real a--holes" The guy sitting next to him says"I take great offence to that" The other guy says "what are you a lawyer?" "No" the guy says "I`m an a--hole" When is it time to reef? The first time you ask yourself "I wonder if I should reef now"

Me to my brother-in-law as we sail between islands in the notoriously ledge-strewn Muscongus Bay:
"Do you know these waters well? You don't seem to need a chart."
"Yeah. F'r'xample, there's a solitary rock just over there, and you have to sail real close along this shore to avoid it."
THUNK-CRASH!
He bolts into the cabin to see if the boat's taking on water ...which she isn't.
"Well... I guess I should have been even closer to the shore... or that damn rock dragged in last weeks' storm!"
-Three surgeons are talking shop at a cocktail party:
The first one says,
"I've got a great system going. My patients are all electricians. When you open them up, everything is color coded. It makes keeping things straight pretty easy."
The surgeon next to him says,
"Try operating on engineers like I do. They have diagrams and labels, which make it even easier to take them apart and sew them up."
The third surgeon laughs into his drink and says,
"Whoa! Are you guys amateurs or what?!
I only operate on lawyers. There's nothing inside and only two moving parts, the mouth and the asshole... and those are interchangeable!"

The Pirate
A pirate walked into a bar and the bartender said, "Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. What happened? You look terrible".
"What do you mean?" said the pirate, "I feel fine"
"What about the wooden leg? You didn't have that before."
"Well, we were in a battle and I got hit with a cannon ball, but I'm fine now".
"Well, ok, but what about that hook? What happened to your hand?"
"We were in another battle. I boarded a ship and got into a sword fight. My hand was cut off. I got fitted with a hook. I'm fine, really".
"What about that eye patch?" "Oh, one day we were at sea and a flock of birds flew over. I looked up and one of them pooped in my eye".
"You're kidding," said the bartender, "you couldn't lose an eye just from some bird doo-doo?"
"It was my first day with the hook"

with apologies to rbgarr:

I only operate on boatbuilders. If I see something I don't like, I just cut it out with a chainsaw. And if I don't like any of it, I tape it up and put a for sale sign on it!"[/QB]
