One of the most interesting things about the bridge tour.....

Is that I found out that they had Mexicans doing all the work. There were two Mexican guys who were serving as look outs with the binoculars and they were doing all the work while the angry Russian guy had his hand on the tiller.

Who knew that this big ocean liner would be just like a pizzera.

The Mexicans are doing all the work!

The White Star Line hired the Irish, Eastenders, and the otherwise downtrodden to keep lookout back in the day.

Why entrust the jewels to the higher paid help? Keeping watch is like babysitting or baseball. Nothing much happens most of the time, but when it does, it's crucial. Aren't Mexicans taking over baseball too?

I went on a cruise once.

Once.

It was the now defunct...Silmar? Sitmar, maybe. I know that's a defunct Italian line, and I know we were lousy with wops (no offense, Troop).

I don't think I'd do a cruise again—but I might work on one. If that makes sense.

A gigolo gig?

Whatevs. I think it might be fun to work on, even if I don't particularly like taking them.

I'd probably be a fisherman first, though.
