   Can’t blame Toyota for that one.

   “Honey, how many times do I have to tell you, Boat First, Boat First!”

   While working at West Marine for a stint, my colleagues (all sailors) and I put our customers into 1 of 2 categories: Sailors or Powerboaters.

   Most of the time we’d glance up and see a mouth-breathing lug with a little trophy on his arm. She’d look at shoes while he looked at marine speakers. Other times we’d know they were power boaters by the problems they were trying to fix. “How can I get more bass out of these speakers? It just don’t rock hard enough when I’m doing 60 on the water.”

   Of course, the sailors were their own breed as well: “That shackle won’t do. It’s just going to slow down my boat. I need something that weighs less than an ounce; Dammit!”

   I once told a sailor that we were working on sheet made entirely of spider’s web. He was almost willing to pre-order a spool.
