Doc,

Why are A cats called "potato chips" in CA? This is not a lead in to a joke (I swear), but he said they are known in CA as "potato chips" and I am not sure why (maybe some vieled reference at being fragile??). I am not trying to debate any boats fragility, just want to be "down with" the vernacular.

I went to the Mississippi coast a few months ago and a lot of people were asking me where the "fragile" sticker was....I thought it was not very funny!!! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> The same ones asked me where the "panic" button was after I capsized twice. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
