Oh, right, larry j - - "LadyX and Pippin threw you overboard" will not pass muster, Bucko!

I have preserved the note you secured to your hammock with duct tape saying:

"Going on walkabout - see you in October - mebbe ~ ~ ~"

Here we've been floundering, phishing around for suitable substitutes for your balloons, at the mercy of the vagaries of the weather.
Sheesh - whatta phriend you are.

Humblegunner did spot the giant dimpled French condom afloat, but never suspected you were - um - 'connected' with it - haha!

As part of their "ranch" holiday, a guy takes his wife hunting. When they reach their deer blinds, the guy says, "If you shoot a deer, be sure you don't let anybody else say he's the one who shot it. Otherwise, he'll take the deer from you. The deer belongs to whoever shoots it." The guy goes to his own blind. Ten minutes later, he hears his wife shooting from her blind nearby. He rushes over and finds her pointing her rifle at a cowboy who's shouting,

"OK, lady, OK! You can have the deer! Just lemme get my saddle off it!"
