Looking at another post today, I noticed a post by Rick Heaverly about his list of rules…Per him the quote below is Rule Numero Uno:

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>
Whenever I have guests on board I go over a list of rules while on board. Number 1 is "EVERYONE sits down when using the head".

We too do give our spiel when newbies come on board and have our list of rules, I thought it would be interesting to post the various rules we all have. It may enlighten some of us.
Here is our list, which includes some informational material as well, but we try to make everyone aware things. As you would have guessed, we include a bit of levity in our routine.
<ul>
1. The owners are always right.
2. If the owners are wrong see rule number 1.
3. Life jackets are available and must be worn by all after sunset or when the Lake temperature is below 60 degrees. At the request of the captain, you may be asked to wear them on other occasions; such a request is not optional. If you are questioning whether you should be wearing one, please ask for one because you probably should have one on.
4. If the admiral and Commodore are not present, all women over the age of 18, under the age of 25 and under the weight of 120lbs must wear bikinis.
5. The lid to the ice-box must remain closed unless you are stocking it or retrieving something from it.
6. The Newbies bring and serve the Beer.
7. While underway, if you can’t hang it over the side, then please sit down on the head.
8. If you do hang it over the side make sure its to leeward.
9. Nothing other than human waste and our toilet paper goes in the head.
10. The Captain reserves the right to make you sit in the cabin if conditions warrant. These may include conditions brought on by your inability to consume alcohol.
11. The newbies bring and serve the beer!
12. If you don’t know how to flush the head, please ask.
13. The sink is not a sink, it is either a temporary garbage can for the lazy, or a storage compartment for keys, instrument covers, wallets and the keel winch handle, please do not use it in any other capacity.
14. If it isn’t broken and your name isn’t Dennis Connor, please don’t fix it. If you think its broken, please point it out.
15. Don’t wave your beer at the ODNR, Coast Guard Or Cleveland Police boats or at their helicopter.
16. We will be more than happy to teach you anything we know about sailing, don’t be afraid to ask. Just keep in mind a lot of our answers could be B.S.
17. Soft soled shoes only please.
18. Unless an exemption is received prior to departing the dock all guests must help clean up!
19. Any and all beer brought on board by said guests that are not consumed becomes the property of the boat and its owners.
20. Anyone who pukes do to see sickness or other ailments must do so to leeward, (note: same as rule number 8)</ul>

No, you have to hide it well below rules 1 and 2 so if they start reading the list, they see rules one and two, say "whatever" and stop reading.....
