Autobiography of Karl Jones: May 3, 2019:

Social media

Today a friend posted this amusing quotation on Facebook:

I think it’s cute that thing humans do when they see a boat pass and the people on the boat wave at them and they wave back. For absolutely no reason. They don’t know each other they’re not trying to communicate anything other than “LOOK! I am on a boat!!! Hello!!!!” “I see you!!!! On the boat!!!! Hello!!!!!!!!!!” in a genuine moment of wholesome human connection and excitement.

I (truthfully) responded:

When this happens to me, and I'm the one in the boat, I like to bellow a few lines from H.M.S. Pinafore:

We sail the ocean blue,
And our saucy ship's a beauty;
We are sober* men and true,
And attentive to our duty!
