Ferries Theys the Worst



Being a well respected captain of the high seas, a teller of tall tales of short ships, or was that short tales of tall ships…I can’t remember but let me tell there is one ship that I do not wish to Captain. With great reluctance I am surprised that I even boarded this car ferry . I snapped a few photos and then spent the rest of the crossing, hiding in the life boat which I had cut loose, dropped it into the see and had it tethered off the back of the ferry some 200 yards, the crew I imagine thought I was a fisherman fishing in the wash from the engines, but no it was Captain JW cowering in the wake of one of the most dangerous forms of transportation on the high seas!
Kind Regards JW

Commander Josh -- You must take care on the high seas. Many plans have yet to be completed!

...I get sea sick on piers.

It can be a problem.

Paul: I told you never ever blatently plagerize, but thanks for the thought.

Cheryl: I was not a shadowy figure I swear,DNA me I swear.

matt: As you well guess I was forced to take the ferry for research purposes, we will not have you in pier duty, you will best serve the alphabetical movement traveling with Goldfrap.
You will soon be approached by a man with a hook and peg leg while you are sipping coffee with ing at a local coffee shop, Bird will be playing in the background and this weathered man from the Merchant Marine will hand you each letters of intoduction to the band members, a large sum of cash will be in each envelope. Do not tell each other the amount this is to be kept secret until further notice, it will all become clear soon enough. Thanks in advance for the cause. JW

I like that new invention they made to avoid a ferry: It's called, "a bridge."

I was going to say a gay joke about the Golden Gate Bridge, but I have some pride in my smartass Commenting ability, and that is just too easy...

Zen: Tell me of this bridge idea...

TicTac: Yes, bring wine and cheese, beer and tater chips. May as well make it a party.

Commander Josh does not "cower"; he hunkers down.

I was thinking -- how about if Mr. Sammy delivers two envelopes with letters, etc in one, and the cash in the other. I will safeguard the cash and make sure that at the end the secret amount is equally distributed.

By the way, how much did Alison Goldfrapp settle for in order to complete her vital part in this mission?

ing: Your right, hunker down another typo on my part. Yes grab the envelope with the money, and practice saying "trust me". Alison is providing the money in the envelope(s) she really believes in the cause.

Now I forgot--It was something about "you don't need a ferry across the San Francisco Bay because there will be fairies when you get there," or something...

Winters: Only before and after battle. YOu would be surprised to find in my lexicon battle can have a thousand definitions and growing, so yes I "spliced the main brace" indeed I did, gotta go battle ahead!

You would have felt more comfortable if you'd taken some girls on board :)

mone: Into the life boat they would go and we would drift 300 yards aft. drinking wine , beer , absinthe, bottled water and Mr Pibb. Not to mention room enough for a nice game of twister.

Hello Mulester Josh! My mule ate what I gave him to carry on his bag.

Thankyou for your commentxxx Loved the piece on trepanning, I'm always going on about that. Someone in our year at school did serious damage to themselves by putting two pencils up their nose and slamming down on the table during an exam. Yes, I have interesting friends.

molly: The ole pencil up the nose trick historically almost always fails. Thank you for stopping by and even scrolling down far enough for the the ole Trepan post, Molly aint lazy...As for your mule, hitch the bag further back, so far back you may think you will fear it slipping down the mules arse. Then cinch it down. This is as safe as safe could be, you could keep ,sugar cubes, apples and crack cocaine in your saddle bags and it would be all safe from your mules prying nose. Thats it for tips on hiding crack from mules, ass's and even donkeys. JW

Hello there! Just now seeing your comments on my blog, thanks! Nice to know at least one person is out there.

The few ferry rides I have been on make me very sympathetic to your plight!

Yankee H: Thanks, Ferrys are taking away jobs from bridges. But they do employee a number of search and recovery teams around the world.

Just as long as those pesky ferries stay out of my Djibouti.

toby: You can say that again! No problemo!
