WEDNESDAYS WITH MORONS
'I love the good things in life; cheap whiskey,
cheap wines, two-dollar burgers, black-cap

'When I was on the high seas, we could
only wear sea-leather boots. They had to
have cladding, to hold us along the deck.
Otherwise maybe, 'Bye, bye, Mrs. Bligh,
and he went over the side.' Frightful and
deadly stuff. We lost a man once, long
ago, who always had his head in a book.

'Reading me Shakespeare,' he'd say, 'in
case we run into a Tempest.' Then one day
he was swept over the side and never found
again. 'To the memory of...Barnacle Bill
the Sailor',' I put on his bunk.'
