Originally posted by PhlabibitI 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.
Thanx in advance.

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." 😉
