Department of Safe Marine Functioning

This summer I heard they're coming-laws to protect the operators of: Powerboats, High Performance Powerboats, "Normal" Sailboats, High Performance Sailboats, Hovercraft, Dinghies, Model boats etc:

1) You will report to the Dept. of Safe Marine Functioning,
2) There you will be given a 4700 page Marine Common Sense IQ test,
4) Due to government cutbacks, your test will be evaluated in 6 mos,
5) You are enjoined by law from any Marine Activity requiring the Exercise of
Common Sense during the period of your review,
6) Welcome to Safe Boating in the Modern Age!

Nice to see something sensible coming out of Washington these days.
