    Some time ago I heard the tale of a woman who successfully sued a Mom'n'pop pharmacy because they had not adequately explained how to use a product they had sold to her.

    Seems that even though she put the spermicidal jelly on her toast she still got pregnant.

    Anyone draw good Peanuts style comics?

    I ask because of a bit of silly inspiration.

    Imagine Charlie Brown out for a day sailing his new kite sail yacht ...

    ... and the Kite Eating Tree on top of a passing super yacht doing what it always does.

    Charlie Brown: "Good grief!"

    Not hard to imagine. Quite a common occurrence. My mast collected a parasailer. The boat driver/concessionaire was in the habit of lowering customers onto my mast. One day the customer grabbed the mast and hung on. Here's a guy getting his kite back.

    It is such a big ocean and a mast tip is such a small target. That is impressive.

    Maybe you should paint a kite on your hull (or a placard hanging from your railing) for everyone you snag? Bag 5 and adopt the nickname "Ace". :p
