So we're in a State Marina and it's a base for the State Marine Conservation boats and we're slipped within a close eye shot of them and that convenience has them checking us regularly. This younger guy who we've seen and boarded us many times before and is probably 40 years younger than me approaches the boat AGAIN and asks to see what we caught...

We take the fish out of the cooler and he takes out this wimpy tape measure and I start to laugh to myself that it looks like something he got from a Barbie set and decide to have some fun with him and say without thinking " Come on... Did your Mom or Sister give you that Barbie tape measure" ???

Needless to say for the next few years, if there was 100 boats out there, he targeted us and when he boarded us, we both made eye contact and he never brought that "Barbie tape" out again...

Ha ha 😆
