All this talk abut outboards reminds me of the following:
A businessman was in Japan to make a presentation to the Toyota motor
people. Needless to say, this was an especially important deal, and it
was imperative that he make the best possible impression.
 On the morning of the presentation he awoke to find himself passing
gas, in large volumes, with the unpleasant characteristic of sounding
like "HONDA."
The man was besides himself. Every few minutes "HONDA", "HONDA"....
 Unable to stop this aberrant behavior, and in desperate need to
terminate these odious and rather embarrassing emissions, he
sought a physician's aid.
 After a full examination, the doctor told him that there was nothing
inherently wrong with him and that he would just have to wait it out.
Being unwilling to accept this state of affairs he visited a second and
then a third doctor all of whom told him the same thing
 Finally one medic suggested that he visit a dentist. Well, although he
could not see how a dentist was going to be of any help, he visited one
anyway.
 Lo and behold, the dentist said, "Ah, there's the problem"
 "What is it?" the man asked.
 "Why, you have an abscess," said the dentist.
 "An abscess. How could that be causing my problem?" asked the man.
 "That's easy," replied the dentist. "Why everyone knows... Abscess
makes the fart go Honda."
