No man is an island

So, you are not truly self made. But why make that look so attractive if it is a fallacy? What if I like being an island? My problem is that when I try being an island a cruise ship starts circling my shores. This cruise "ship of fools" wants to find out what I've been doing with my coconuts on my island. Do I despise the ship or the fools more? I guess there are fools anywhere you go. Whoever put the fools on the ship and sailed them to my beach is probably some kind of demented Captain Stubing, saying, "Go forth and show this man you 'love' him, but make sure you irritate him as much as possible by being untactful and condescending."

Yeah, I'm a strange one.

Hmm, that's quite a philosophical debate: which is worse - the ship or the fools? I'll have to think about that one.

I'm going with the fools, mostly because the ship unmanned would not really be bothersome by itself. If only you could sink the ship and all of the fools on board. I guess you could start sitting on your porch with a shotgun... maybe it'll make the fools try to love you a little less.

Does the ship have a lifeboat? Just take off on one of them and leave the ship and the fools behind.

Christielli~ I'll expect a full analysis soon.

Megan~ Unless, it was the "Mothership"! I actually do have a shotgun and a porch. All I need now is a rocking chair and a spittoon.

Jules~ Where would I paddle that lifeboat to?
