My friend wanted a boat more than anything. His wife kept
refusing, but he bought one anyway. "I'll tell you what,"
he told her. "In the spirit of compromise, why don't you
name the boat?"
Being a good sport, she accepted. When her husband went to
the dock for his maiden voyage, this is the name he saw
painted on the side: "For Sale."

Well, since I started this maybe I should tell you about my first boat's name.
During a twelve-hour marathon Scrabble game between two couples on a rainy day on Tortola, and the consumption of four bottles of Mount Gay it was decided that this was the Championship of the World. Nearing the end the other guy in the game put the word mouse in the lower right corner thus giving him the triple word score and a commanding lead. My partner, who was by this time totally blottoed was determined to add letters to the front of the mouse (doormouse, titmouse, churchmouse) and get the triple word score at the bottom middle of the board thus cleaning up and being declared Champion of the World. After each failed attempts she would throw back her tiles, take new ones, take the penalty, curse the stupid game, and again lapse into a comma. She finally roused herself, sat up erect, and breary-eyed she rearranged her tiles and dumped six on the board. She placed them in front of mouse and pronounced, "Lingermouse." She then slid under the table and was out for the count. She was also declared Champion of the World. When the laughter of the three of us subsided enough I said that if I ever had a boat it would be called Lingermouse.
