I used to be. Turns out sailors never bathe. The whales started to smell better. Then I decided to be a madame for a while, in walking distance from a port of course because the sea still beckoned. Well, before long I was seeing the same sailors, and my girls were having the same complaints about them that I'd had. They refused to work, and I nearly lost all of my investment. Then I had an idea! I changed the name of my place from Reader's Kittens to Hoist The Mainsail. The sailors now ... um, play chess -- yeah, that's it ... with other sailors. I just provide the place and collect fees. I also bought lots of soap.

There once was a whale near Nantucket.
I'll get the harpoon if you chuck it.
We'll go for a ride,
and we'll peal back it's hide...
and have lamp oil, lad... by the bucket!

"All men live enveloped in whale-lines. All are born with halters round their necks; but it is only when caught in the swift, sudden turn of death, that mortals realize the silent, subtle, ever present perils of life."

Tell 'em Herman! :'( Tell 'em like it is!

"Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off--then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can." 😉

That's because there are so many whales. 🙂

Is it purely confined to Whales?

I ask only because I used to be a U-boat captain
