What happens when you brag to much about fuel efficiency
Not really.It's the aftermath of the storm in France.40' tides!

Those power boater pranksters.  Nice find, Phil.
I'm sure that'll buff right out.

I learned the hard way not to brag about vehicles and whatnot.
When I first got my 4x4 I bragged to my G.F. that it would never get stuck. She proceeded to bury it up to the axles on several occasions before I took it back.
I designed and built some wooden sawhorses and man, was I ever proud of my design! I gave a set to my Pa and told him they were INDESTRUCTIBLE, and he proceeds to set a BUILDING on them, and they failed.  So I made a set special for him out of 2 x 10s but said they MIGHT break if he sets another building on them.

Build it more idiot proof, then find a better idiot.
I tell my dad that everything is "(adjective) within reason". It keeps him from testing the theory.

One time, I built a mechanic's workbench in an area still used as a loading bay by novice drivers. So I built it strong. As usual, plans changed, and the bench was sold a year later. The new owner came to pick it up, and after two or three hours, left with just the top. :-)
