		<description>@Kelly &amp; Friar,

Easy answer.  People who can afford a Jag *pay* someone to take their canoe somewhere (or also own a Honda), and *pay* someone else to deliver the plywood!

		<description>Friar,

I hear you. I have a luxury car I wouldn&#039;t mind (if the word &quot;free&quot; or &quot;lottery&quot; were involved), but without my minivan how do I carry 4x8 sheets of plywood? Gotta have that practical vehicle, too.

Later,

		<description>@Kelly

If it was an either/or choice, I&#039;d trade in my Honda for a Jag, then trade the Jag in for a newer Honda.

(You can&#039;t put a canoe on top of a Jag....you cant&#039; take it on the logging roads to remote lakes to catch fish).

But...if you allowed me to keep my old Honda, and still give me the Jag...I certainly wouldn&#039;t have a problem with owning BOTH.

		<description>Alex,

Trip them up! Ha! I&#039;m laughing, but I don&#039;t feel quite as inspired....

Brett,

Tell me the good Friar wouldn&#039;t dump his Honda in a second for a Jag. Of course it&#039;s tougher to park inconspicuously on a fishing trip.

Until later,

		<description>Kelly,

LOL the Friar has a Honda so I didn&#039;t want to bug him too much (actually the lady with the Jag helped him buy his house, she&#039;s a nice lady).  I&#039;m more of a VW guy myself, as long as it is turbocharged...

I&#039;ll bring some beers to Friar&#039;s tonight, we&#039;ll erase all memory of any mean dogs...

		<description>@Friar:
LOL - That definitely puts a fun spin on the topic. Let&#039;s see if I can interpret that one in light of Kelly&#039;s point...

&quot;Your problems don&#039;t really matter as long as the person next to you has bigger problems to deal with.&quot; 

Yeah, that&#039;s the attitude of many people, isn&#039;t it? And if their problems aren&#039;t that big, make them bigger so that yours appear smaller (in other words, if they look like they&#039;re going to pass you, trip them up).

		<description>Brett,

Not that there&#039;s anything wrong with a Honda... LOL. Too politically correct. (Next to a Jag, yes, there is.)

Friar,

Are you having a very literal day or are you too deeply philosophical for me to understand you? Thank goodness you brought your friend Mr. Hasse with you, because the second comment, I get. :)

Steph,

This is one I&#039;ve had in my &quot;collection&quot; of quotes to inspire me for many years, and I still don&#039;t know if I do it—at least not as often as I&#039;d like to!

Panther,

All metaphorically of course. But if a Lion runs at you, definitely whistle!

Regards,

Kelly</description>

		<description>&quot; When a dog runs at you, you don&#039;t need to outrun him...

...you just need to outrun the person standing next to you.

		<description>I&#039;m a runner, so I generally don&#039;t like dogs; way to unpredictable in their behaviours.  OH! We&#039;re speaking metaphorically here! Okay, I look at the dog, panic briefly, and then get all stubborn and say &quot;Alright you son of a pup, let&#039;s see what kind of show dog we can turn you into!&quot;  And while it may not end up being best of show, I think I do manage best of breed.  All metaphorically of course.
