Ramp manners

Fishgurl - As for the entertainment value...If I had more time I would take me a lawn chair AND a video camera and do just what you said, because I know sooner or later I'd have a shot at that $10,000.00 dollars on America's Funniest Home Video's...

On a more serious note I have seen parents let their kids play and swim on the ramps while people were trying to launch. If it were my kid I would have never let them be around someone backing a boat or on the ramp to start with. And on a less serious note Paul Harvey told of a couple that bought there first boat and when it wouldn't plane out they went to the nearest dock to find out that they had the trailer still attached to the boat. I wouldn't believe it if it hadn't been Paul Harvey telling it. Still hard to believe.

I remember the first time I heard that story, except it was a "blonde story". I remember laughing my rear end off. Then I got to thinking - wouldn't the person have to disconnect the trailer hitch and lights in order to do that? Of course they would! It's still a funny story though.
