Another afternoon it wuz at the dock yestiddy. Yo Mama
had been in the galley mos de afternoon a-choppin and
a-gratin 'n a-slycin 'n arrangin so as 2 have what we do
call Baggies Enchiladas 2 includ the man callet Howard
4 dinner, corectly known as supper. When a voice from the
skies tolt me 2 take a break. I wuz a-standin out there on
the dock a-talking to varius strangers when The Kaptain came
a stormin out the door and ran 4 the upper level a-yelling
thet the terlet (being HIS) had overflowt and he had a flood
on his floor. (He was a-goin to get dirty towels to mop it
all up with). Well, that terlet room at best measures 3 1/2'
by 2 1/2',wall to wall, 'n iffin U take out the cabinet and
terlet furniture U has a floor spase bout 2' x 18", hardle
beg nuf to accomodate 1, much less 2 bodies the sizes of ours.
N E way it weren't my pooper paper put n-2 that terlet in
x-cess amount to kause that flood 2-B Praise the Lord for small
favers. So I jes stayed on the dock a-talkin bout nuthin to
strangers when bout that time The Kaptain comes a-running out
the door with sum wet towels yellin things like, "thanks, jes
thanks alot 4 all ur help", "sur was nise that U came to help
me", "the g.d. terlet flooded the whole boat 'n U weren't there
to help me". I kin assure U thet the strangers on the dock
didn't no what to think. Me neither cept I knowed nuf to jes
keep my mouth zipped. 2 make myself look better 2 the strangers
on the dock, I got on the flooded vessel and stuck my hed in
the door and seid, "kin I help U?" 'n The Kaptain yellet real
loud, "NO, I got it all klean up all by myself". So I went
back up yonder with the strangers and soon The Kaptain had the
FINAL WORD, he opent thet door to the boat and yellet with his
eyebrows raised and his eyes bugging out, "AND WITH NO THANKS
TO YOU" !!!! Everbodie on the dock jest stared and stared.
Suppose them folks wanna n-vite us 2 their 5th-wheel water homes?
He did borry, by the by, jes 4 the records, with no permision,
thet same previously written about pooper pot frum the kitchen
kabinet ...guess I'll have 2 add it 2 his working tools box.
What do ya think? Yo Mama thinks nothin, she jes reports the
news as it happens, jes like on t.v.

I'm a thinkin that the Captain ought to have his own t.v. show, kinda like Donald and Martha. He could get a bunch of idiots and put them on his boat for a few weeks and see who could win the title of First Mate. That would also provide him with a ready stock of slave labor for doing things like unplugging potties. Meanwhile, the lady of the barge could sit back and drink her disguised crystal light and video tape all the fun.....
