Capt. Mark East’s Advice to the Careworn, Confused, Lovelorn and Other Outdoor People



Dear Captain Mark,
For many years, six of us have been going to deer camp for the same week in November. The last few years one of the guys has been very slow in paying his share and he's taken to mooching drinks from the other guys’ liquor bottles. He’s got more money than all of us put together. What should we do?

Dear Mooch Watch,
Seems this is not only your group having this problem. Try salting a couple or three of your booze bottles with Fleet’s Phospho Soda. He may get the message, if not at least he’ll be prepped for a colonoscopy

 


 

Dear Mr. Captain East,
My boyfriend taught me how to wind surf. I really love it but now I think he's a bit peeved cause I've gotten better than him. What's the solution?

Dear Anxious Surfer in Love. Sounds like the old male vanity syndrome. Try falling once in a while. Ask him for pointers. Compliment his tricks and tell him how much you appreciate his help. Then buy the next round of beers. Good Luck
