  9. It's not nice to laugh at another man's boat. A snicker or giggle is permissable though. Jas. Hook OK, so now we're gonna havta paint a smiley face pyrate and crossbones on the sail.... I imagine it will draw all sorts of comments, looks, guffaws, and laughter. We have a secondary (or primary) reason for this; during the peak of the paddlefish (spoonbill) season, we are going to barbeque hamburgers and hot dogs, sell them with little bags of chips and a soda for five bucks a whack so those dedicated snaggers won't have to quit the river for lunch. We oughta do well if we don't get caught by the water patrol or the health department. (pyrates ya' know) Bo Bo, sounds like a neat venture. All that comes to mind is Big Mike Fink's river boat in Disney's Davy Crockett and the River Pirates. I haven't seen the movie in years but I think he mounted a swivel gun on board. Jas. Hook
