Jeff R.: Here Be Dragons

It's difficult to reach, nowadays. It's not that people didn't know the shape of the world: the Greek knew, as did the Sumerians, even if they didn't spread it about.

No, the proliferation of maps is the problem, making it difficult to Sail beyond the edge of all of them. Also, that any sailor seasoned enough to know how to get there knows enough to avoid it.

Still, I have a nearly unbounded trust in your abilities, my young friend. This flask contains the Genius Loci of one of the Florida Keys. Toss it over the edge, and await payment.

Jeff C.: The Last 30 Minutes

Jack: “You know, I’ve always wanted you”.
Jill: “Excuse me? What are you talking about”?
Jack: “I used to sneak looks at you and your friends in the pool when I would come over to pick her up for dates”.
Jill: “My God… I can’t believe you! You’re disgusting…”
Jack: “Sometimes I fantasize about you when we do it”.
Jill: “I’m your wife’s sister for God’s sake”!
Jack: “They say there’s only a half an hour until the asteroid hits”.
Jill: “Oh. Um, do you want to go to the bedroom or take me right here on the kitchen island”?
