That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for November 06, 2019

James couldn’t understand why his colleagues weren’t interested in using the Henry Hudson route.

“Let me get this straight, there is no Uber Eats out there.”

“If you don’t stop that disgusting gum-stretching thing, you’re walking the plank!”

“Cap’n, Nurse Nightingale has just informed me that the deadliest catch isn’t what the Discovery Channel shows, but that, in fact, it’s what the men caught at Madam Dumont’s House of Thrills last weekend.”

Stay home? When we could be the first ones in history to get Chinese take-out?? C’mon man!

Captain Ahab planning the next search and hunt for Moby Dick.

I’m not sure there’s a market for meter long toothpicks Simonds.

“The way I see it, we can’t get there from here, and I’ve heard there is no ‘there’ there, anyway. To sum it up, we’re sunk.”

with this kind of nautical argument wilbur had found that it always turned out to be not so bloody important after all once he’d smoked a bowl…

Okay, we leave Wood’s Hole, pass Chappaquiddick and Martha’s Vineyard….next stop is Nantucket…..We’ve really got to see this man!

“Why don’t we just use the GPS?”

“When you’ve quite finished, gentlemen, I need to lay the table.”

Revolutionaries in search of an army.

“It’s morning and you are still playing your fantasy role-play game! Clear off so I can lay breakfast.

It all unfortunately began 3 days ago when the captain said, “Write this down.”

Pizza! Pizza-pizza and more beer.

Well, if you want more tea, someone needs to go get some. Until then this water is as strong as I can get it with dandelions.

Sorry Henry but I was clear when I told you to arrive with a hat and a neck beard. Mrs. Jenkins here has a hat and I’m pretty sure she can bring in a good neck beard so it’s her we’ll be takin’ to sea, not you.

I’ve had way too many conversations like that

“No, I don’t care to see how far you can flip your booger, now lets get back to our planning.”

People from all around the globe came to the Flat Earth Society meetings.

Barnie and Clive are getting a little fed up with Ephraim’s time-taking, pipe-toking tactics when it’s his turn to pay.

The waitress, also, isn’t too amused.

The sea route toKansas City/ goes through places that ain’t very pretty/ but you may get lucky/ and strand in Kentucky/ (and wouldn’t THAT be a pity?)

You are monsters and fiends putting pineapple on pizza.

The lads of the steering committee/ sought a sea route to Kansas City/ yet in Nashville they landed/ and there they were stranded/ but they did get to meet Conway Twitty.
