Re: M_Boats: Galley of Jtb
Hi Rachel, The "Martini Yardstick" came from a friend of mine. His question to himself, as to whether he should buy something or not was based on, "How many Martinis does it cost?" If it was five Martinis or fewer, go for it. Five to ten Martinis, and then he would first have to contemplate his navel, and study the tea leaves in the bottom of his cup prior to making a decision. Iced lattes or Cherry Garcia frozen yogurt are also very good yardsticks. However, is there a conversion scale: Cherry Garcia frozen yogurt to Martinis? On Google maybe? Connie

Well "Martini Yardstick" does have a better ring to it, I'll have to admit. Perhaps I should try a Martini, and then if I like it, I too can use the "Martini Yardstick." I could go for the "Cockburn's 20-year-tawny-port" yardstick, no problem. But that yardstick would probably allow me to spend too much on the boat, since it usually comes by the bottle ;-) So I'd better stick with Martinis, lattes, or ice cream :-) R. PS I'd love to hear what sort of yardstick rationalizations others use!
