boat compromise & illusive dots

My friend wanted a boat more than anything. His wife kept refusing, but he
bought one anyway. "I'll tell you what," he told her, "In the spirit of
compromise, why don't you name the boat?"

Being a good sport, she accepted. When her husband went to the dock for his
maiden voyage, this is the name he saw painted on the side: "For Sale."

That reminds me of the pastor who named his boat "Visitation". That way when people called his house, his wife could say, "Oh, he's out on Visitation".

That dot thing will mess you up!

Optical Illusions are amazing things. It's crazy how our brains can actually be "fooled" into thinking something exists.

I agree with Faith...it is painful on the eyes.

I love that joke...also Gordon's line about naming the boat "Visitation." Our pastor did that...then after a while, it was "For Sale."

Thanks for stopping by my blog
