I just posted this on the thread "How Old Are You?" but it is probably better posted here.

Speaking of age and getting older and cruising until you die, last year we had to deal with putting my wife's father into a nursing home during his last days. After that ordeal, my wife turned to our son, Alex, and said, "Don't worry Alex, when we get to be that age, your father and I will just get on Tamure, sail out to the middle of the ocean and pull the plug!"

Alex looked at her and said, "Wait! I have a better idea: why don't I just sail you our there and drop you off!" No sense in waisting a good cruising boat.
