Sorry, you're right Dan.  

My use of "PFD-Nazi" should be replaced by the term "Over-zealous USCG
boarding officer who-is-having-a-bad-day and notices-the-shiny- 
retroreflective-tape-that-shouldn't-be-there-on-my-PFD".  I didn't mean
to 
offend anybody of Jewish, German, or Coast Guard origin, really!
