Greasy B Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 I have to say, I have never waxed my car...but I always seem to find the time to take care of my boats. Priorities. This morning my truck is dirty, bug encrusted and due for an oil change, the house is a mess, my check book unbalanced, the fridge is empty, he lawn needs mowing and I’m two weeks behind on laundry, but by god my brother and I both have our canoes washed and waxed, fresh line on our bait and spinning rods, fly lines have been cleaned and dressed, our hooks are sharp, our bags are organized and packed, the menu is planned and the coolers filled, priorities indeed. His father touches the Claw in spite of Kevin's warnings and breaks two legs just as a thunderstorm tears the house apart. Kevin runs away with the Claw. He becomes captain of the Greasy Bastard, a small ship carrying rubber goods between England and Burma. Michael Palin, Terry Jones, 1974
