Valenti asked me to sell his boat for him.  He claimed he just couldn't bear to do it himself.  One day I went down to meet this yuppie who wanted to see it.  I started telling him about it, and he says "Oh, I know all about these boats..."  He reaches down and unties the halyard from the cleat, and boom, straight up into the air he went.  Yeah, he knew all about those boats...
