The Coolidge Effect

I wanna distract him while you tie the ropes!

Think it would take both of us to raise the mast?

 

[Calamity Jane]

Probably not, but when was an extra person a bad thing?

Psst. They don't have ropes on sail boats. Only lines.

Picky picky picky.

But they're like ropes, right?

 

[SaucyWench]

They are ropes. They are just called lines. Webster defines a rope as a "large, strong cord made of strands of fiber." Therefore, its all semantics.

And you are right, the more the merrier!

Some of the strands of fiber are steel. But yes it is mostly semantics.

Still you might get a little confused if I tell you to ease the starboard bit line while your on a horse.

Touche'
