New Boat

[Rodgera]

Busy in the yard one afternoon, my father paused to admire our
neighbor's new boat.

"Sure is a beauty, Charles," Dad said. Knowing that Charles' wife was
conservative when it came to spending money, my father asked, "Was it
expensive?"

"The boat itself wasn't so bad," Charles replied. "But the extras really hurt."

"You mean things like water skis, life jackets and trailer?" my father asked.

"No," our neighbor said with a sigh. "I mean the new carpet, the
kitchen cabinets and the living-room furniture."

Sounds like my first table saw and the diamond ring.

Oh! the joys of being single.
NO PAYBACKS

Is that a bit like the bloke that bought a large boat and let his wife name it.


She named it "For Sale"
