The lawyer decided to take up sailing, so he went to buy a boat. “How do you dock this thing?” he asked when he’d settled on a model. “You don’t,” the salesman said. “To protect the finish from dings, just tie it to a float near the dock.” “How do you get out to the boat?” “You can paddle out on a small raft, or just walk to it if you don’t mind getting wet.” “Oh, I get it,” the young lawyer replied. “It’s Row v. Wade.”

Ramé contre Jaboulet
Just for my amusement, I know the question is closed now.

Jaboulet Le nom est porté notamment dans l'Ardèche et la Drôme. Variantes ou formes voisines : Jaboulay (42), Jabouley (42, 71). Ces noms sont à rapprocher de Jabouille (19, 23) et de Jaboulin (71, 70, 69). Jabouille devrait être une variante de Gabouille, toponyme ayant dans le Mâconnais et en Savoie le sens d'eau bourbeuse (cf. l'occitan gabolhar = patauger, barboter). Il est probable que tous les autres noms aient le même sens.
