Crowd Funding

[Mister E]

I met this really really old bloke yesterday, he seemed thousands of years old.
Any way he told me that due to the rain recently he was looking at building a large wooden boat.
A double ended thing with no engine or sails but really big.
He said it had to be flood proof.

Anyone interested in chipping in a few quid, if so pm me for details.

Was he think of using Acacia wood?

Can be difficult to source these days

 

[Mudisox]

Only couples as crew or passengers though,

Don't forget the unicorns, this time

He could gopher it.

But now we have Health and Safety... maybe corks would suffice?

They won't need to be male/female couples though. We have moved on from that sort of 20th century nonsense.

Not to mention thousands of preceding centuries, as studied by Charles Darwin et al (give or take a bit of parthenogenesis)...

Could not have been. Noah was for too hard working.

While I like a double ended big wooden ark as much as the next guy.... I would really appreciate it if you could crowd fund me a sixty foot Princess flybridge

 

[The Q]

Is Morgan Freeman sponsoring this project?

If you gave me one, I'd still have to crowd fund the berthing and fuel.

I had my chance to own a superyacht.....several years back now at the Cannes boat show, there was a 120 foot boat with a sign on saying, this boat is owned by the bank, any offer considered. I could have put down €10 ...but if I won, then the mooring, crew, fuel etc immediately become my problem

Like the original white elephants, given to ruin people, another version of the poisoned chalice...

"Trickle down doesn't work"

It does if you own a boat and don't DIY.

Except in my case, when I do have to get someone to do something for me, they're usually richer than me. At least, they are when I've paid the bill...

 

[Mister E]

Well if only it was now restricted to raining for 40 days and nights.
I think he may be to late to build his boat.
