>> The Reason Blonde Jokes Will Never Go Away......

>> This is a True Story, if she had killed herself she'd be a shoe-in for the
>> Darwin Award
>>
>>
>> Last summer, down on Lake Isabella, located in the high desert, an hour
east
>> of Bakersfield, a woman, who happened to be blonde, and new to boating was
>> having a problem. No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't get her
>> brand new 22-ft Bayliner to perform.
>> It wouldn't get on a plane at all, and it was very sluggish in almost every
>> maneuver, no matter how much power she applied.
>>
>> After about an hour of trying to make it go, she putted over to a nearby
>> marina. Maybe they could tell her what was wrong. A thorough topside check
>> revealed everything was in perfect working order. The engine was fine, the
>> outdrive went up and down, the prop was the
>> correct size and pitch.
>>
>> So, one of the marina guys jumped in the water to check underneath. He
came up
>> choking on water, he was laughing so hard. Under the boat, still strapped
>> securely in place, was the trailer.
