If anyone wants a bit of fun, please feel free to continue the following tale:



The Nimby Phenomenon set sail late on a Monday, in weather that caused most other sailors to stay in harbour. Tacking hard against the westerly wind, its captain adroitly avoided the lee shore and the lurk of the Pibby principle, which though marked by lighthouse and buoy, had been the ruin of many an unwary mariner. Now that the Silence of Colonel Bra had shipped, speed was of the essence.
