Jeffisms:
It's rare that you meet someone who's personality is so well defined that within a day you can classify
their statements. We proudly present three Jeffisms for your enjoyment. There are many more, but we thought we'd feed them to you slowly.
Jeffism #1
I never drink anything stronger than pop. Of course, Pop'll drink just about anything.
Jeffism #2
All the nuts roll down to Florida. And the really heavy nuts roll down to the Keys.
Jeffism #3
The way you boyscout-proof a boat is you go around with a hammer and hit everything.
If something breaks, it's not boyscout-proof and you've gotta replace it.
The Wearable Jeffism

We're going sailing! We're going sailing!
Back when we went to the Hamptons for Labour Day, all Kev really wanted was to meet
someone cool enough to own a sailboat so they could take us sailing. This may have been a selfish, sneaky
desire, but it was pretty much all he wanted. We all know by now that it didn't happen.

but she was really just laying around.

You can imagine his delight when we met a couple that we got along with even before we realized they had a
sailboat. A big one. And they wanted to take us sailing!
Yippeeeeeeee!!!!
If we hadn't had this whole sailing day planned out, I'm pretty sure we would have left the Keys a couple
of days earlier. And that would have been a crying shame. Sad enough for Jimmy Buffett to write about it:
It was a sorry sight when I saw them leave,
They don't know where their hearts belong,
It was enough to make me cry upon my sleave,
And all I could say was, so long, so long...
But we didn't leave, Jimmy. And that meant we had a full day of exciting sailing with our new friends planned.
And not only that.
They were taking us snorkeling too! And not only that.
We'd be able to do some fishing while we're sailing along! And not only that. To save a bit of cash, we can sleep on their boat after sailing!
Holy Frickin' Frack! This is the biggest jackpot of niceness we've fallen into since the last time we went
to a Canadian McDonalds.
It was an amazing day of sailing - a first for either of us. I mean, we've never sailed before. Not that we've
only had crummy sailing experiences. Thanks to the nicest people in the world, we fished, we snorkeled,
we sailed and we slept. After having such a good time, we've pledged to send the rest of Canada down to the
Keys to take a sail with Jeff and Vilma.
Drop them a line (just watch out for the boom) and get to know them!
