Things that make you go Hmmmm....

Working in the Bookstore at Ft. Jefferson is interesting. As I said before, I will delve into the vast font of humor that it represents at a future time. Just for the moment I will pass along some words of wisdom that I got in an e-mail the other day and show how it relates to my current situation...

Situation:
Almost all the visitors out here at the Dry Tortugas wander around in their swimsuits all day...
Some have a towel or coverup, but most of the time not. Many of the women (mostly older women at that) that come in the bookstore looking for t-shirts, refregerator magnets, gewgawas and knick-knacks have undergone Augmentation surgery... And most of the time they are very proud of the results... Even it the surgery was done 10 or 15 years ago and mean ol' Mr. Gravity has been working to undo the doctor's fine work.
Hence we have many 50 and 60 year old women walking around in very brief (sometimes thong) bikinis...
(I will spare you the description of the very long-in-the-tooth sunbaked thong-wearing 65+ year old woman with her 20-something boy-toy... She wandered about with her beau on her arm showing off her waaaay-too-big vintage implants and her thong... Appearantly no one told her that wearing a thong is a privledge, and that she needed to get approval from the Thong Review Board before strutting her stuff around the island...)

Words of wisdom:

There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with big perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.

Here endeth the lesson.
