A Pirate's Life for Me?

Sometimes the best thing to do is to sell everything you own and just hit the road. You know, break free from this thing that you call "your life". I'm feeling just like that, and I think I may have found just the ticket: Working on a Cruise ship as an acupuncturist...

The Pro's:
No rent, no utilities, no food costs, free gym access, the open ocean (good for a Pisces like myself), world travel, and the chance to amass some major cash.

The Con's:
Loooonnnng hours, no land, a finite sized ship, old people, and an increased risk of meeting Barry Mannilow.

I'm checking it out as an option. Stay tuned, maybe my new posts will be via the oceans of the world.

The Virtues of a Well Educated Dog

I was taking the dog, Jazzy, for a walk up on Mt. Tabor one sunny morning when this fellow came up to me and strikes up this conversation:

(Mr. Slackjaw Simpleton): Hi, that's a nice doggy.
(Me:) Yep, he's a good boy, a bit rowdy at times, but a good boy none the less.
[pause... Mr. S is slack jawed, no doubt waiting for his new Vista OS to reboot]
(Mr S.): Oh. Is he tutored?
(Me - ponderous for a moment:) Why yes, in the classics.
(Mr S.): ?
(Me:) Yes, we just finished Shakespeare.
(Mr S.): Uh...
(Me): His favorite was the "Merchant of Venison", of course.
(Mr S.): Uh...
(Me): Well, Beowulf awaits, gotta go!
Mr S. Drool and a bit of steam from the ears.

Yes, I am an evil bastard and my tolerance for stupid people has not improved.
