You need to learn to have fun while performing "serious business". If I
ever get to hold your view, I'll retire to a nice beach cottage.


Thought you'd already 'retired'. Fired and unemployable more like . . .

When serious business becomes 'fun' it's no longer serious
and your attitude explains the many collisions and disasters at
sea that go on and on and on. If more so-called professional
captains would take their profession more seriously accidents
like the recent sinking of a sailboat by a navy ship would never
have happened. Such events are inexcusable. People like
yourself confusing fun hobbies with serious professions need
to be plucked out like weeds in a garden. Only a giant fool
is at the helm of a huge ship thinking "Gee Mommy, this is fun!".
And you have the nerve to laugh at me . . .? I'm your better
by a factor of at least four or five.
