Why let a nobody like Dan use your yacht?

Seriously, folks, why on earth would a self-described ‘mailroom guy/errand boy’ be allowed to use his millionaire bosses yacht? Chances are the boss would not even know that this guy existed, let alone allow him to use his boat. I could see if he wanted to lend it to another executive, say a President or a Vice-President or someone above that station, but an errand boy? And remember, if Dan is to be believed, this is not the first time. He has fed his line of BS to numerous girls, pretending to be a millionaire and getting these floozies on 'HIS' yacht.

I’d love to know what DARK SECRET Dan must have possessed to blackmail the boss with. Perhaps pictures of him in a compromising position with a couple of sheep in distasteful, low-rent lingerie, or some such. Otherwise, I just can’t see it happening.

Who’s with me on this?

Maybe Dan borrowed it without the boss knowing about it some how

In all honesty, I prefer the sheep lingerie thing

Me too. Frankly, I'm all but convinced of it.

Torland, I can't imagine it's that easy to just walk into a yacht club or wherever and abscond with someone's massive yacht.

That's my guess. It would help explain (but not excuse) why Dan would be so worried about the yacht being damaged.

what makes it compromising? the sheep..? or the low-rent lingerie?

Pick your pet. Or should I just say baah baah?

He and the boss were having a torrid affair, and Dan threatened to expose the situation if his nautical demands weren't met.
