I had to go to a corperate meeting last week, 2 days worth. Part of it was saftey. As the saftey cordinators came in I laughed as one approched me. He asked why did I laugh when I saw him. I said "Your Famous". He had a puzzled look and ask what I was talking about. His name tag big as can be said Ron Hill. I said if you are Ron Hill, I am on your boating sight almost every day. I asked, you race boats don't you? He just laughed and said no buddy not me. He bought me lunch and we talked a bit over the two days, real nice fella.

Hey 88Workcar, got a question for you. Did you ever happen to meet Justin Wilson? I don't know if he's still around. Many will remember him as the first great "coonass" comedian. Maybe he's on Youtube. But not many people know his occupation was a "Safety Man". I guess he probably had a "speaking" role at all the safety meetings he attended.

I always liked Justin Wilson's duck hunting routines.

He also had a cooking show called " The Cookin Cajun" long before Emeril, Paula Deen and all the others.

He always recommended a specific wine for each meal he prepared. He often would ask in his cajun accent, "Wha kine o wine you drink wid dis? Wha kine you got"?

Then there was Jerry Clower with his coon hunting stories.

Kids today don't know what good clean funny is all about.

A really great "lounge" comedian. Worked for years at a little place in Ft. Lauderdale, and traveled a little also. Sold a LOT of records. They are still available from his website, on LP, Cassette, and CD for the most recent ones.

That is where "Champagne Flight" came from.

P.S.

I also liked Justin Wilson. Used to watch his cooking program for his wild game recipes, quail and dove especially.

Master- Ol JW was a good comedian, but was not a cajun, he was from Mississippi. I did not know his other occupation was safety.
Ron- Ok 2 nice guys LOL

Shinders- It said American Bureau of Shipping, I changed it to suit my nornal statis The whipper not the whippee

SRK- That is correct ol boy, but you didn't whoop me, I spoke with you there but you forgot your boat. By the way thanks for the pictures and videos

Gene- yes yes yes-(shoot this thang) yes

Bill - I never heard of that one.

I have worked 209hrs in the last 3 weeks, I am so burned out is it crazy, but I am thankful that I have a job in these hard times.
