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!

" Your Safety is Our Responsibility"

 

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