I just received a phone call from Art, who is at the boatyard checking on the progress of the boat refits.
"Paul...bad news...the sailboat just fell off the cradles."
"Is everyone OK?"
"Yes,sir."
"Oh? Well, okay. How much damage?"
"Let me finish. It fell against the big boat and knocked it off it's cradle as well."
"Crap. Well, okay."
"Aren't you upset?"
"What good would that do? Besides, the yard has insurance."
Long silence...then I heard him shout..."Told you he wouldn't get mad!"
"Paul, I was just joking."
"Just wait until you get home! And, I'm NOT kidding!"
That's a good friend for you...now to come up with something to get even...mmmm.
