    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Bob in my younger days of poverty and improvisation, we had a boat in the Florida keys with no chairs. So we put lawn chairs in it. All was fine once the boat got up on a plane. But when it suddenly stopped(running out of gas, bad plug wires, or just slowing down quickly) everyone crashed into the deck! Worked great that way until we sold it six months later!!!! We didn't bruise and break so easily back then!

    Humph!

    I fail to see what's wrong or amusing about that!

    That's pretty much the seat I have on my tractor after the old one rusted out after forty-odd years.

    (Sigh. They don't make things to last any more. Everything's got built in obsolescence)
