It's what they do after that that bothers us.

Dang. Been waiting to use that one, eh?

Three hour cruise my ass. I think Mr. Howell was planning to dump his wife overboard when she found out about him and Ginger. Sorta like a Nathalie Wood thing, but the good looking one stays on the boat.

And we'd have to raise your ensign.
