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
