have you considered taking a job as a mid-1600s sailor

I like scuttlebutt, rum, salt cod, and I can eat a whole lemon on its own.

But I don’t like the heat or back breaking labour, so I don’t think I’d be a good fit.

“I kinda like it actually”

“Shut up, Nart”

“But —“

“It’s a horrible life”

I think with the British navy they hanged you for refusing service, but I haven’t decided if that’s preferable to starving.
