Gordon died. So Susan went to the local paper to put a notice in the obituaries. The gentleman at the counter, after offering his condolences, asked Susan what she would like to say about Gordon.

Susan replied, "You just put, 'Gordon died.'"

The gentleman, somewhat perplexed, said, "That's it? Just 'Gordon died?'

Surely, there must be something more you'd like to say about Gordon. If it's money you're concerned about, the first five words are free. We really should say something more."

So Susan pondered for a few minutes and finally said, "O.K., then. You put 'Gordon died. Checkmate for sale.'"

Four married guys go to the lake and run their Checkmates. After an hour, the following conversation took place:
First guy: "You have no idea what I had to do to be able to come out boating this weekend. I had to promise my wife that I will paint every room in the house next weekend."
Second guy: "That is nothing, I had to promise my wife that I will build her a new deck for the pool."
Third guy: "Man, you both have it easy! I had to promise my wife that I will remodel the kitchen for her."
They continue to boat when they realized that the fourth guy has not said a word. So they asked him. "You haven't said anything about what you had to do to be able to come running your Checkmate this weekend. What's the deal?"
Fourth guy: "I just set my alarm for 4:00 am. When it went off, I shut it off, gave the wife a nudge and said, "Checkmateing or sex?" She said, "Wear a sweater its cool outside."

Ole's house and saw a sign that said "Boat For Sale." This confused
Sven because he knew that Ole didn't own a boat, so he finally
decided to go in and ask Ole about it.

"Hey Ole," said Sven, "I noticed da sign in your yard dat says 'Boat
For Sale,' but ya don't even have a boat. All ya have is your old
John Deere tractor and combine."

Ole replied, "Yup, and they're boat for sale."

A bum, who obviously has seen more than his share of hard times approaches a well dressed gentleman on the street.

"Hey, buddy, can you spare two dollars?" The well-dressed gentleman responds: "You are not going to spend it on liquor are you?" "No, sir, I don't drink," retorts the bum.

"You are not going to throw it away in some card game, are you?" asks the gentleman. "No way, I don't gamble," answers the bum. "

You wouldn't waste the money for boating would you?" asks the man. "Never," says the bum, "I don't like boating."

The man asks the bum if he would like to come home with him for a home cooked meal.The bum accepts eagerly.

While they are heading for the man's house, the bum's curiosity gets the better of him. "Isn't your wife going to be angry when she sees a guy like me at your table?" "Probably," says the man, "but it will be worth it. I want her to see what happens to a guy who doesn't drink, gamble, or boat''

One morning the husband returned after several hours of running his Checkmate and decided to take a short nap. Although she wasn't familiar with the lake, the wife decided to take the boat. She cruised out a short distance, anchored, and returned to reading her book.

Along came the sheriff in his boat. He pulled up alongside her and said, "Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?"

"Reading my book," she replied...as she thought to herself, "isn't it obvious?"

"You're in a restricted fishing area," he informed her.

"Officer, I'm not fishing. Can't you see that?"

"Yes, but you have all the equipment. I'll have to take you in and write you up."

"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with rape," snapped the irate woman.

"But I haven't even touched you," groused the sheriff.

"Yes, that's true," she replied, "but you have all the equipment."

A friend was looking for a second hand boat (a Checkmate) to buy, when he hit on a great idea...

At his Boating club there was a large trailer park and a smaller yard where the management put trailers and boats if the owner didn't pay their membership for 12 months. The club is very big and at the time there were three or four Checkmates in this yard that judging from their condition hadn't been run for at least a year.

My friend took down the numbers of these boats and asked the club secretary for the owners address so that he could make them an offer. The first man he rang said he wasn't interested in selling as he was going to lake that weekend

He then rang the second owner who lived about 100 miles away. A woman answered the phone and confirmed that they did still own the Checkmate. My friend explained that he had seen it in the defaulters yard and that as it clearly hadn't been used for a year - did she think her husband would be interested in selling?

"Oh no" she said, "there must be some mistake - come rain or shine my husband spends one weekend a month at the lake on the boat..."

I bet he had some explaining to do when he got home!

Your boat never wants a night out alone with other boats.
Boats don't care if you're late.
You don't have to take a shower before driving your boat.

The Evils of Water Skiing


A preacher became frustrated that a large part of his congregation was going water skiing on Sunday, rather than coming to church. So he told his wife,"This Sunday, I'm going to preach about the evils of water skiing on Sunday."

"What!?" she exclaimed. "That's a silly thing to preach about!"

"I don't think so," he said, "It's a problem we need to address." Next Sunday as they were driving to church, the wife asked the preacher what he is going to preach about, somewhat warily. "As I told you," he said, "I'm going to preach about the evils of water skiing on Sundays."

"That's idiotic!" the wife says. "First of all, it's a dumb sermon topic and second, the people who need to hear it won't be in church! Why don't you preach about sex or something people are interested in?"

"Nope. The Lord wants me to preach about the evils of water-skiing on Sundays, and that's what I'm preaching about," he said firmly.

The wife said, "Well, I'm not going to sit through a stupid sermon like that. I'm staying in the car. You can tell the congregation I'm sick or something." And she stayed in the car.

As the preacher was walking from the car to his study at the church he began thinking maybe his wife was right, and he changed his mind and gave a brilliant extemporaneous sermon on the biblical teachings of sex.

When the service was over, one of the church members stopped by the preacher's car and said to the pastor's wife, "I'm sorry you're not feeling well this morning. Your husband gave the finest sermon today that he's ever given since coming to this church."

"I don't know why he thinks he's such an expert on the subject," the wife snapped. "He's only tried it twice, and he fell off both times!"

Boat troubles
During late spring one year, a blonde was trying out her new Baja. She was unable to have her Baja perform, travel through water, or do any maneuvers whatsoever no matter how hard she tried.

After trying for over three days to make the Baja work properly, she decided to seek help. She putted the Baja over to the local marina in hopes that someone there could identify her problem.

Workers determined that everything from the engine to the outdrive was working perfectly on the topside of the boat. So, a puzzled marina employee jumped into the water to check underneath the boat for problems. Because he was laughing so hard, he came up choking on water and gasping for air. Under the Baja, still strapped in place securely, was the trailer.

Two friends are discussing the possibility of love. "I thought I was in love three times," one friend says.

"How so?" his friend asks.

"Five years ago I deeply cared for a woman who wanted nothing to do with me."

"Was that not love?" his friend asks.

"No," he replies. "That was obsession. And then two years ago I deeply cared for an attractive woman who didn't understand me."

"Was that not love?"

"No," he replies. "That was lust. And just last year I met a woman aboard a cruise ship to the Caribbean. She was smart, funny, and a great conversationalist. And everywhere I followed her on that boat, I would get this strange sensation in the pit of my stomach."

"Was that not love?" his friend asks.

"No," he replies. "That was motion sickness."

Captain Bravado...

Long ago, there lived an officer of the Royal Navy named Captain Bravado. He was a manly man's man, who showed no fear when facing his enemies.

One day, while sailing the Seven Seas, his lookout spotted a pirate ship approaching, and the crew became frantic. Captain Bravado bellowed, "Bring me my red shirt!"

The first mate quickly retrieved the captain's red shirt, and while wearing the brightly colored frock, the Captain led his crew into battle and defeated the pirates.

That evening, all the men sat around on the deck recounting the day's triumph. One of them asked the Captain, "Sir, why did you call for your red shirt before battle?"

The captain replied, "If I were to be wounded in the attack, the shirt would not show my blood. Thus, you men would continue to fight, unafraid." All of the men sat and marveled at the courage of such a manly man's man.

As dawn came the next morning, the lookout spotted not one, not two, but TEN pirate ships approaching. The crew stared in worshipful silence at the captain and waited for his usual orders. Captain Bravado gazed with steely eyes upon the vast armada arrayed against his ship, and without fear, turned and calmly shouted, "Bring me my brown pants!"

Every Saturday morning he goes out to run his Checkmate. He gets up early and eager, makes his lunch, hooks up his boat and off he goes...all day long. Well, one Saturday morning he gets up early, dresses quietly, gets his lunch made, puts on his long johns, grabs the dog and goes to the garage to hook up his boat to the truck and down the driveway he goes.
Coming out of his garage the rain is teeming down; it is like a torrential downpour. There is snow mixed in with the rain, and the wind is blowing at about 50 mph. Minutes later, he returns to the garage. He comes back into the house and turns the TV to the weather channel. He finds it's going to be bad weather all day long, so he quietly undresses and slips back into bed.
There he cuddles up to his wife's back, now with a different anticipation, and whispers, "The weather out there is terrible."
To which she sleepily replies, "Can you believe my stupid husband is out in his Checkmate in that crap?"

How to spot the owner of the marina:

His leathery skin makes the Marlboro Man look like the Ivory Girl.
He’s the guy who charges you for directions.
He’s got fists the size of canned hams.
His boat has been on dry dock for years.
When his wallet opens, you hear a faint, “cha-ching.”.
He even squints in caves.
He wore “chinos” to his daughters wedding.
Even his callouses have callouses.
You could build a dam with the dirt under his nails.
His cologne is “bilgewater musk.”
His shirt is seven years older than his Cadillac.

Dear Cap’n ABBY: What is the difference between miles-per-hour and knots? – Joe

Dear Joe: Miles-per-hour is how many miles someone or something goes in one hours time. A knot is something you tie with a rope. D-uh.


Dear Cap’n Abby: I was recently told that all children are required to wear flotation while on a boat. Is this true?

Dear Z06: While it is true that children are required to wear flotation when on a boat, it is a little known fact that children actually serve as excellent flotation for adults during an emergency (especially the chubby kids).

Some sad news about beer today.
&gt; &gt; &gt;
You have to hope that this study is flawed, but the evidence seems irrefutable. Yesterday, scientists for Health Canada suggested that the results of a recent analysis revealed the presence of female hormones in beer, and suggested that men should take a look at their beer consumption. The theory is that drinking beer makes men turn into women. To test the theory, 100 men were each fed 6 pints of beer within a one-hour period. It was then observed that 100% of the men gained weight, talked excessively without making sense, became overly
emotional, couldn't drive, failed to think rationally, argued over nothing, had to sit down while urinating and refused to apologize when wrong, No further testing is planned.

&gt; DATE RAPE DRUG TARGETS MALES
&gt;
&gt; (URP) - Police warn all male clubbers, party-goers, and unsuspecting pub regulars to be alert and stay cautious when offered a drink from any woman.
&gt;
&gt; Gents, a new date rape drug on the market, called "beer," is used by females to target unsuspecting men.
&gt;
&gt; The drug is generally found in liquid form, and is now available almost anywhere. "Beer" is used by female sexual predators at parties and bars to persuade their male victims to go home and have sex with them.
&gt;
&gt; Typically, a woman needs only to persuade a guy to
&gt; consume a few units of "beer" and then simply ask him
&gt; home for no-strings-attached sex. Men are rendered
&gt; helpless against this approach. After several "beers"
&gt; men will often succumb to desires to perform sexual
&gt; acts on horrific looking women to whom they would
&gt; never normally be attracted.
&gt;
&gt; After drinking "beer," men often awaken with only hazy
&gt; memories of exactly what happened to them the night
&gt; before, often with just a vague feeling that something
&gt; bad occurred. At other times these unfortunate men are
&gt; swindled out of their life's savings in a familiar
&gt; scam known as "a relationship."
&gt;
&gt; Apparently men are much more susceptible to this scam
&gt; after "beer" is administered and sex is offered by the
&gt; predatory female.
&gt;
&gt; Please! Forward this warning to every male you know.
&gt; However, if you fall victim to this insidious "beer"
&gt; and the predatory women administering it, there are
&gt; male support groups with venues in ever town where you
&gt; can discuss the details of your shocking encounter in
&gt; an open and frank manner with similarly affected,
&gt; like-minded guys. For the support group nearest you.
&gt;
&gt; Just look up "Golf Courses, or Marinas" in the yellow pages.

WHO SAID MEN WEREN'T SENSITIVE?

A woman meets a gorgeous man in a bar. They talk, they connect, they end up being together. They go back to his 38 ft Checkmate, and as he shows her around his boat, she notices that his cabin is completely packed with sweet cuddly teddy bears.

Hundreds of cute small bears on a shelf all the way along the floor. Cuddly medium-sized ones on a shelf a little higher. Huge enormous bears on the top shelf along the wall.

The woman is surprised that this guy would have a collection of teddy bears, especially one that's so extensive, but she decides not to mention this to him, and actually is quite impressed by this evidence of his sensitive side!

She turns to him, invitingly... they kiss...and then they rip each other's clothes off and make hot steamy love.

After she has this intense night of passion with this sensitive guy, and they are lying there together in the afterglow, the woman rolls over and asks, smiling, "Well, how was it for you?"

The guy yawns: "Help yourself to any prize from the bottom shelf."

When I'm in a good mood it turns green and he knows its ok for him to go play with his Checkmate on the river with his friends. When I'm in a bad mood it leaves a big red mark on his forehead.

Maybe next time he'll buy me a diamond!!

WOMEN'S ASS SIZE STUDY
There is a new study out about women and how they feel about their ass. I thought the results were pretty interesting:

85% of women think their ass is too big...

10% of women think their ass is too little...

The other 5% say that they don't care -- they love him and would have married him anyway.

"We're sorry to call on you at this hour, Mr. Wilkens, but we have some information about your wife."

"Well, tell me!" the man said.

The policeman said, "We have some bad news, some good news
and some really great news. Which do you want to hear first?"

Fearing the worse, Mr. Wilkens said, "Give me the bad news first."

So the policeman said, "I'm sorry to tell you sir, but this morning
we found your wife's body in San Francisco Bay."

"Oh my god!," said Mr. Wilkens, overcome by emotion.
Then, remembering what the policeman had said, he asked,

"What's the good news?"

"Well," said the policeman, "When we pulled her up she had two
five-pound lobsters and a dozen good size Dungeoness crabs on her."

"If that's the good news than what's the great news?!",
Mr. Wilkens demanded.

"So, how did you end up with the peg-leg?"

The pirate responds!

"We were in a storm at sea, and I was swept overboard into a school of sharks.
Just as my men were pulling me out, a shark bit my leg off."

"Wow!" said the Checkmate Guy.

"What about the hook?"

"Well...," replied the pirate, "

We were boarding an enemy ship and were battling the other sailors with swords.
One of the enemy cut my hand off."

"Incredible!" remarked the Checkmate guy.

"How did you get the eyepatch?"

"A seagull dropping fell into my eye," replied the pirate.

ZO6 is stranded on a desert island, all alone for ten years.
One day, ZO6 saw a speck on the horizon.
ZO6 thinks to himself, "It's not a ship,"

the speck gets a little closer and ZO6 thinks, "It's not a boat."

The speck gets even closer and ZO6 thinks. it's not a raft."

Then, out of the surf comes this gorgeous blonde woman,
on a jet ski wearing a wet suit.

She approaches ZO6 and says,

"How long has it been since you've had a cigarette?"

"Ten years!" ZO6 says.

She reaches over and unzips a waterproof pocket on her
left sleeve and pulls out a fresh pack of cigarettes.

ZO6 takes one, lights it, takes a long drag, and says,
"Man, oh man! Is that good,"

Then she asked,

"How long has it been since you've had a drink of whiskey?"

ZO6 replies, "Ten Years!"

She reaches over and unzips her waterproof pocket on her
right sleeve, pulls out a flask and gives it to him.
ZO6 takes a long swig and says, "Wow, that's fantastic!"

Then she starts unzipping this long zipper that runs
down the front of the wet suit and says to him,

"And how long has it been since you had some REAL fun?"

A grizzled old man wearing a Checkmate Boat Factory jacket was eating in a truck stop when three Hell's Angels bikers walked in. The first walked up to the old man and pushed his cigarette into the old man's pie, and then took a seat at the counter.

The second walked up to the old man and spit into the old man's milk, and then he took a seat at the counter. The third walked up to the old man and turned over the old man's plate, and then he took a seat at the counter.

Without a word of protest, the old man quietly left the diner. Shortly thereafter, one of the bikers said to the waitress, "Humph, not much of a man, was he?"

The waitress replied, "He's not much of a truck driver either. He just backed his semi truck and trailer full of Checkmate boats over three motorcycles."

When the class ended, the students were given their final exam: strip a Boat engine completely and reassemble it in perfect working order. The gynecologist did his best - and was amazed to find he scored 150%. "How could that be?" he asked. "Well," said the instructor, "I gave you 50% for taking the engine apart.

"That doesn't matter," replied the blonde, "if I only can sell the boat."

"Okay," said the brunette. "Here is the address of a friend of mine. He owns a boat repair shop.Tell him I sent you and he will turn the counter in your boat back to 100 hours. Then it should not be a problem to sell your boat anymore."

One day Bill and Z were talking to each other about Checkmates. Z told Bill that he had never even driven a Checkmate and also that he had never been laid. "I'll bet if you let me borrow your new boat for a week or so, I would get laid!" said Z... He kept on and on until Bill finally said: "Ok, Z. But you better not get it over 35 mph!" Happily Z got in his Avalanche and went down to the marina as fast as he could. When he got there, he stood on the dock next to Bill's boat until a beautiful woman walked by. "Hey honey! You wanna go for a boat ride?" Z asked timidly. He was shocked when she said "Sure!" So Z carried her 2 miles off shore and said: "Put out or swim!" The woman didn't know how to swim and Z had let her ride in his Checkmate, so she dropped her bikini bottom and let Z have his way. This happened several times over the next two days and Z was exstatic! Two days earlier he had never had a boat and had never been laid..until Bill let him borrow his mate and now he was getting so much that he didn't even care what the woman looked like, As long as he could drive the boat! Well, the last lady for the day was a 375 pound mammoth. But Z didn't care. "Hey baby, you wanna go for a boat ride?" He asked... she said yes... when they reached the 2 mile mark, SHE jerked the key out of the ignition, pulled down her bikini bottom, peeled the scabs off of her crotch and said "EAT IT OR SWIM!" http://www.checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/sick.gif http://www.checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/sick.gif http://www.checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/sick.gif....................... Later that week Z was telling Bill about the last woman and Bill asked "Well, what did you do!" Z looked at Bill and said with disgust "Well you didn't hear about anyone drowning now did ya!" Z kind of lost his taste for checkmates once he found out that just because they are the nicest looking boats, doesn't mean they always bring out the nicest looking women!

The following is an ad from a real-life newspaper which appeared four days in a row - the last three hopelessly trying to correct the first day's mistake.

--------------------------------------------------

MONDAY: For sale: R.D. Jones has one Checkmate Boat for sale. Pbone 948-0707 after 7 P.M.. and ask for Mrs. Kelly who lives with him cheap.

TUESDAY Notice: We regret having erred In R.D. Jones' ad yesterday. It should have read "One Checkmate Boat for sale cheap. Phone 948-0707 and ask for Mrs. Kelly, who lives with him after 7 P.M."

WEDNESDAY Notice: R.D. Jones has informed us that he has received several annoying telephone calls because of the error we made in the classified ad yesterday. The ad stands correct as follows: "For sale -- R.D. Jones has one Checkmate Boat for sale. Cheap. Phone 948-0707 after 7 P.M. and ask for Mrs. Kelly who loves with him."

THURSDAY Notice: I, R.D. Jones, have no Checkmate Boat for sale. I smashed it. Don't call 948-0707 as I have had the phone disconnected. I have not been carrying on with Mrs. Kelly. Until yesterday she was my housekeeper but she quit!

A preacher was winding up his Blessing of the Boats sermon with great fervor. "If I had all the beer in the world, I'd take it and throw it into the river." The congregation cried, "Amen!" "And if I had all the wine in the world, I'd take it and throw it in the river." The congregation cried, "Amen!" "And if I had all the whiskey and demon rum in the world, I'd take it all and throw it in the river." And the congregation cried, "Amen!" The preacher sat down. The deacon stood up. "For our closing hymn," he announced, "let us turn to page 126 and sing,

Taking a break from the golf circuit, Tiger Woods drives his new Checkmate to a Marina for gas. The attendant greets him in typical
manner, unaware of just who the golf pro is.

"What can I do for you!" he calls out.

As Tiger gets out of the Checkmate, two tees fall out of his pocket..

"So, what are those, son?" asks the attendant.

"They're called tees," replies Tiger. "And what would ya be usin 'em for, now?" inquires the attendant.

"Well, they're for resting my balls on when I drive," replies Tiger.

"Jaysus, Mary an' Joseph!" exclaims the
attendant. "Those fellas at Checkmate think of everything!"

A Newbys TOOL GUIDE

HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer is used as a kind of divining rod to locate expensive parts not far from the object we are trying to hit.

ELECTRIC HAND DRILL: Normally used for spinning steel Pop rivets in their holes until you die of old age, but it also works great for drilling mounting holes in fenders just above the brake line that goes to the rear wheel.

PLIERS: Used to round off bolt heads.

HACKSAW: One of a family of cutting tools built on the chaos principle. It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes.

VISE-GRIPS: Used to round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand.

OXYACETYLENE TORCH: Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable objects in your garage on fire.

WHITWORTH SOCKETS: Once used for working on older British cars and motorcycles, they are now used mainly for impersonating that 9/16 or 1/2 socket you've been searching for the last 15 minutes.

DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your drink across the room, splattering it against that freshly painted part you were drying.

WIRE WHEEL: Cleans rust off old bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprint whorls and hard-earned guitar calluses in about the time it takes you to say, "Ouch!"

HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK: Used for lowering a car to the ground after you have installed your new front disk brake setup, trapping the jack handle firmly under the front fender.

EIGHT-FOOT LONG DOUGLAS FIR 2X4: Used for levering the car upward off a hydraulic jack.

TWEEZERS: A tool for removing wood splinters.

PHONE: Tool for calling your neighbor to see if he has another hydraulic floor jack.

TROUBLE LIGHT: The mechanic's own tanning booth. Sometimes called a drop light, it is a good source of vitamin D, "the sunshine vitamin," which is not otherwise found under cars at night. Health benefits aside, its main purpose is to consume 40-watt light bulbs at about the same rate that 105-mm howitzer shells might be used during, say, the first few hours of the Battle of the Bulge. More often dark than light, its name is somewhat misleading.

PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER: Normally used to stab the lids of old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splash oil on your shirt; can also be used, as the name implies, to round off Phillips screw heads.

AIR COMPRESSOR: A machine that takes energy produced in a coal-burning power plant 200 miles away and transforms it into compressed air that travels by hose to a Chicago Pneumatic impact wrench that grips rusty bolts last tightened 60 years ago by someone in Springfield, and rounds them off.

PRY BAR: A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50 cent part.

HOSE CUTTER: A tool used to cut hoses 1/2 inch too short.

A man was stopped by a game-warden in Northern Algonquin Park recently with two buckets of fish leaving a lake well known for its fishing

The game warden asked the man, "Do you have a license to catch those fish?"

The man replied to the game warden, "No, sir. These are my pet fish."

"Pet fish?!" the warden replied.

"Yes, sir. Every night I take these here fish down to the lake and let them swim around for a while. I whistle and they jump back into their buckets, and I take em home."

"That's a bunch of hooey! Fish can't do that!"

The man looked at the game warden for a moment, and then said, "Here, I'll show you. It really works."

"O.K. I've GOT to see this!" The game warden was curious.

The man poured the fish in to the river and stood and waited. After several minutes, the game warden turned to the man and said, "Well?"

"Well, what?" the man responded.

"When are you going to call them back?" the game warden prompted.

"Call who back?" the man asked.

"The FISH"

"What fish?" the man asked.

Hey, you must've been doin' about 100 mph to keep up with me.

You're not gonna check the galley, are you?

I pay your salary!

Gee, Officer! That's terrific. The last officer only gave me a warning, too!

Do you know why you pulled me over? Okay, just so one of us does.

I was trying to keep up with traffic. Yes, I know there are no other boats around. That's how far ahead of me they are.

"Well, there is one operation I can perform that will cure your husband" said the doctor, "but it is really rather expensive. It will cost you $10,000 down, and payments of $1000 for 36 months, plus payments for extras of course.

In fact I'm sort of glad to be rid of her. She was a rotten old thing from the beginning. She was all shriveled up and she smelled like old fish. She was losing water..

The mechanic walks over to take a closer look.

"Little boy that sure is a nice boat!" the mechanic says.

"Thanks mister," says the little boy.

The mechanic looks a little closer and notices the little boy has tied the dog to the wagon by its testicles.

Little boy," says the mechanic, "I don't want to tell you how to run your boat, but if you were to tie that rope around the dog's neck, I think you could go faster."

A few minutes before the Checkmate meeting started, the owners were sitting in their seats and talking. Suddenly, Satan appeared at the front of the meeting. Everyone started screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from the evil incarnate. Soon everyone had exited the building except for one elderly Checkmate owner who sat calmly in his seat without moving, seeming oblivious to the fact that God's ultimate enemy was in his presence.

So Satan walked up to the old man and said, "Don't you know who I am?"

The man replied, "Yep, sure do."

"Aren't you afraid of me?" Satan asked.

"Nope, sure ain't." said the man.

"Don't you realize I can kill you with a word?" asked Satan.

"Don't doubt it for a minute," returned the old man, in an even tone.

"Did you know that I could cause you profound, horrifying, AGONY for all eternity?" persisted Satan.

"Yep," was the calm reply.

"And you're still not afraid?" asked Satan.

"Nope," said the old man.

More than a little perturbed, Satan asked, "Well, why aren't you afraid of me?"

The man calmly replied, "Been married to your sister for 48 years."

bdusted440 and his family move into their new house on the river. One night his wife notices the light still on in the boat house and says, "Brian you left the light on in the boat house again."
So he steps outside to go turn it off and notices three burgulars trying to steal his Checkmate. He quickly steps back into the house and call the police.
They say,"I'm sorry sir but we have no one in the area to help at this time."
So bdusted hangs up the phone and waits thirty seconds then calls the police back.
He says,"Hi I just called 30 seconds ago about some burgulars in my boat house. Yes. Well never mind its not a problem any more, because I just shot all of them and they are dead." and he hangs up the phone.
Two minutes later four police cruisers, an urban assalt vehicle, and an ambulance show up catching the burgulars red handed.
One of the officers looks at bdusted and says,"I thought you said you shot everyone."
bdusted replies,"and I thought you said you didn't have anyone in the area."

This is a true story! Back in the early 70s My dad, grandpa, uncle, and myself was going out to run our trotlines at 3:00am. We had a old 14ft v bottom with a 5 and a half Johnson. Back then we used to leave the boat at the boat ramp which was just a old gravel road and a mud-bank. When we got there we loaded our gear and headed out. About halfway to the trotlines, remember now its pitch black with just a flashlight, my dad jumps up and hollars I been struck! There's a cotton mouth in the boat, so were all jumping around in the little v bottom trying to keep from getting bit! I look over at my grandpa who was suppose to be driving the boat, was on top of the 5hp, sitting on it trying to keep from getting bit! In the mean time, my dad is still yelling im struck, my uncle and I are at the very front of the bow trying not to get bit! All of a sudden there is a loud crash, and we all go sailing out of the boat. We hit the bank since no one was driving it. My dad was laying on the ground holding his leg still yelling. After a long search for the snake, we discoverd that the snake was actually a minnow that had jumped out of the minnow bucket that we were going to use to bait the trotline, and had slapped my dad on the leg! After 20 minutes of laughter, a broken prop, and gear scattered all over the bank, we went to check our trotlines. http://checkmate-boats.com/graemlins/lol.gif
