Wink Why she? Does your truck relate?

WHY IS A SHIP CALLED "SHE"? Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz said in a talk to the Society of Sponsors of the United States Navy; "A ship is always referred to as 'she' because it costs so much to keep one in paint and powder."
A boat is called a she because there's always a great deal of bustle around her. ..because there's usually a gang of men around...because she has a waist and stays. ..because she takes a lot of paint to keep her looking good. ..because it's not the initial ex-pense that breaks you, it's the upkeep...because she is all decked out...because it takes a good man to handle her right...
because she shows her topsides, hides her bottom and, when coming into port, always heads for the buoys.

Oh really????????

Well, most guys call their vehicles "she" so when they break down, they blame HER. But - my truck is all boy - he's tough, he's Fearless! I think of him as a male & IF there's ever a problem, I have HIM to complain about! LOL!
