The Spirit of Compromise

My friend wanted a boat more than anything. His wife kept refusing, but he bought one anyway.
(Big Trouble!)
"I'll tell you what," he told her. "In the spirit of compromise, why don't you name the boat?"
Being a good sport, she accepted.
When her husband went to the dock for his maiden voyage, this is the name he saw painted on the side: "For Sale."
