No wonder he talks so squeeky!!!!!!!!

My wife made a deal with me after an aquaintance fell off his boat and drowned. He was not wearing a jacket and struck his head on something when he fell and it knocked him out)
She told me that she would never object or complain when I went fishing if I promised to wear a jacket all the time. The clincher was that if I was found to have drowned and had my PFD on she would sprinkle my ashes in Santee Cooper. If I was not wearing one, she would sprinkle them in the Mall of America. Now I don't know about you, but I don't want to spend eternity in the Mall of America.
Seriously, I bought one of the light weight mesh type regualr PFDs and I put it on when I get in the boat and take it off when I pull it out of the water. Just like a seat belt, it ain't worth a crap if you are not wearing it.
