Silence! Silence between decks, ya hear! Now this here be Billy Bones a talkin' to ya. You mought address me as "Captain." Now lookey here - old Warren's got hisself in a tizzy over me rough idle. Well, truth is, I've got 'im right where I want 'im. And just when that swab thinks 'es got ole Billy figured, I keel-haul him fer a bit and make him remember ole Ben Franklin's 13th virture, "humility." Right now (it's 11:30 pm central time on a Friday night), ole Warren's sittin' near by and havin' his scotch 'n water and smokin' that infernal pipe o' his. Looks like he's about to violate one of ole Ben's other virtues "Eat not to dullness, drink not to elevation" (and he ain't been eatin' all that much, if you're pickin' up what ole Billy's throwin' down. I'll have my fun with ole Warren, then I'll let him figure out me problems, and then we'll sign articles and go on down the road. A better relationship can't be forged than one that arises through adversity. But fer now, I've got 'im right where I want 'im. Have yerselves a good weekend. "Captain" Billy Bones |
