Very nice Ennis!  8)
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

Awesome job Ennis!

I'm a little confused.  I know of his books "Reclaiming Jacksonville" and "Cohen Brothers: The Big Store" but what was his 3rd book if this one is his 4th?
