We had been warned about the holiday hire craft that would be using the Caledonian canal as well as us. You know, the ones where the holiday makers are given 10 mins instruction on how to use the craft before being sent on their way! Yes, the ones where the crew think they are driving a car, only they realise at the last moment that they don't have a brake! We had been warned to stay well clear of such craft, for our own benefit. Well, mostly we succeeded in doing so. On one occasion however, we were moored alongside the edge of the canal soon after arriving at Fort Augustus when the skipper of one such craft was trying to moor it just behind us. He came steaming in at a high rate of knots, without fenders, and smashed his boat several times against the quayside on the edge of the canal before finally coming to a standstill and tying his boat up. Rob mentioned to him that he had forgotten to use his fenders. 'Oh, I usually put those out once I've tied up' he said casually! LOL! :-)
Joke (as if you still need another laugh!):
Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Officer asks a young engineer fresh out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, "And what starting salary are you looking for?" The engineer replies, "In the region of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package." The interviewer inquires, "Well, what would you say to a package of five weeks vacation, 14 additional standard paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every two years, say, a red Corvette?" The engineer sits up straight and says, "Wow! Are you kidding?" The interviewer replies, "Yeah, but you started it."
An old man went to the
Doctor complaining that his wife could barely hear. The Doctor suggested
a test to find out the extent of the problem. “Stand far behind her and
ask her a question, and then slowly move up and see how far away you
are when she first responds.” The old man excited to finally be working
on a solution for the problem, runs home and sees his wife preparing
supper. ” Honey” the man asks standing around 20 feet away “whats for
supper?” After receiving no response he tried it again 15 feet away, and
again no response. Then again at 10 feet away and again no response.
Finally he was 5 feet away “honey whats for supper?”
She replies “For the fourth time it’s lasagna!”
