Ramp manners

This world is full of amateurs, and of course morons who just don't know any better!

How many of you have seen that new Evenrude E-tec commercial about as much time as four strokes spend in the shop, you forget what you are doing?? I love that commercial. Know why? Because I am not waiting in line to launch.

What kills me is when you get someone who pulls out of line to try to jump ahead.

Last year while fishing a tournament, or I should say waiting to launch, I had walked over to ask the guy running it a question. I was about 14 boats back from the ramp. Well as you would know, the line moved forward, and there were two truck/trailer spots in front of me. Some guy from the back pulled out, gunned it and took off for the front of the line. I walked right out in front of him, made him stop. I put my hand on his hood, and asked my co-angler to get behind my steering wheel and move my truck forward.

One of these days I am going to get shot, I just know it. I just hope my life insurance is paid up. LOL

I do agree with the statement about the enjoyment of it all. Especially if you are not in a hurry too. It is really great watching the guys with the big old luxury liners or the cuddy cabins or whatever they are called. I've seen them walk out to the back of the boat, in shoulder high water trying to guide their boats on the trailers. It is fun to watch. Unless you are waiting to load as a super-cell thunderstorm rolls in. Dang that hail hurts.
