Boat trip


"This is YOUR fault." Daria said

"My fault!" Jane replied. "You were the one who suggested a private post-graduation cruise!"

"Yeah, but you chartered the boat. Therefore, it's your fault. And don't get me started on the food."

"How was I to know that the 'elegant meal' was going to be canned food?"

"Canned food is right," Daria groused. "One kind of food. Tons of cans of it."

"Lots of vitamins in it though. Look at the captain."

Daria looked up at the pilot house of the small tugboat they were on. The captain was a short, elderly man with thinning red hair, one eye, a humongous chin, and bulging forearms the size of New Jersey. He puffed happily on a corncob pipe as he piloted the ship.

"Jane?"

"Yeah, Daria?"

"Shut up and pass the spinach."
