Mission Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 I was sitting in Panera working on my laptop when someone I hadn't seen in decades came up to my table. We got to chatting and he said, "I saw an article in the paper a year or so ago that said you're still doing something good in the community." At first I wasn't sure what he meant, then I remembered the profile article the local paper wrote about my work re-enacting the role of a pirate surgeon. Doing something good in the community! Yep, that's me all over. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
LadyBarbossa Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 A Pirate... doing good? Most unheard of! Amazing those sort of moments, aye? ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
William Brand Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 This friend of yours has never seen your dental tools. Gives me a toothache just thinking about them.
Mission Posted May 1, 2011 Author Posted May 1, 2011 While I really do enjoy what we do, I don't think I'd call it 'public service.' If it is so, I must say that never before have I been involved in a public service effort that involved so much recourse to top drawer rum.

Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Public education on any level is public service, even with rum added! Bo
wes1761 Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 The amount of Rum does have a bit of an effect on the overall presentation though....gotta keep it interesting!! If it was raining soup, I'd be stuck outside with a fork.....
William Brand Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 ...I must say that never before have I been involved in a public service effort that involved so much recourse to top drawer rum. You need that on a shirt. It reminds me of the old 'Things overheard at PIP' threads.
