Hell on the Seas

There are two things I enjoy about a high seas cruise. 1. Watching the blue water go by and 2. Watching my fellow American do, say and wear embarrassing things.

While waiting in line for an excursion, Karen and I observed a guy regale another mutual fan of Harley Davidson outer wear about his children. He pointed to his four-year-old son, whose blonde hair was sticking out from under a Gilligan hat. And Dad then issued this exact quote:

"This one here's hell on wheels. He got in our Tahoe a few weeks ago, put it in gear, ran into a utility pole and did $9,000 worth of damage."

Harley Dad had a look in his eye that revealed a bit of admiration for his son's deed, maybe even some pride.

"Yeah," Harley Dad says. "This one's hell on wheels."
