As I recall .... if a sailor was so drunk he'd allow a sheet to come off a belaying pin and fly in the wind ... that was drunk. If he'd let it happend to three sheets ... that was really drunk.
I am not kidding when I say the paint fumes are starting to get to me ... and it's waaaaay to hot to open up the windows. I think I'll just sufficate here in the nice cool house. Much more comfy.  |
Sounds much better. And the boat would look drunk as well with all its sheets and therefore sails flapping in the wind. It would not be able to go in a straight line.
