I was away anoying the yachts last week but I thought this reply to a similar topic some months ago might be apt.
Once upon a time.
God was having trouble stopping the yatchies and power boats bumping into each other.
God spoke unto the rag boaties and said Oh-Yah Oh-Yah and thee shall have right of way over all the seven seas !!.
He'd tried everything else he could think of first and in the end he talked to the motor boaties about his problem.
It transpired that God had made a few cockups when programming the rag boaties brains and God was feeling a bit guilty about this blunder.
"Never mind" said the helpfull motor boaties, "just give them some bits of string to play with and everybody else will just kept out of the bloody way" !!.
Not wanting to offend the poor raggies, it was decided to keep the reasons for this new rule secret.
Unfortunatly the raggies as usual, got rag over stick about this new decision and thought that they were the chosen race and superior to the motor boatie tribe.
They decided to use this new rule to keep the motor boatie surfs in there place.
They were also a bit miffed about the way the motor boaties could sail in and out of marinas without a big crew to fend the boat off all the time and not going round and round in circles bumping into every thing in sight and blaming every body else for there problems.
They got a bit mixed up about the "chosen race" and the "yatch race" too, so it became sacred.
So for ever and ever amen the motor boatie tribe has had this cross to bare and secret to keep.
Cos we cant tell the kids that Gods make cockups too!!
And so they all lived, sort of, fairly, happy-ish, everafter, Amen.
