Valentine's Day
Yesterday was Valentine’s Day. In celebration we had some candy hearts, but I’ve never liked them much despite a forcible predilection for confections. So I proposed that we throw them at the albatrosses, especially the lonely-looking albatrosses. If I were hungry and lonely and a dumb albatross, I’d definitelyh want some candy hearts for Valentine’s Day. But the crew reminded me that international law protects the waters south of 60 degrees latitude—nothing foreign can be put into the water. So I laid a few candy hearts on the aft deck... and when I checked this morning, they were gone! I guess I made some albatross very happy! Suffice to say that was the best Valentine’s Day ever.

Dan. I was the one who told you about international law first of all. And second, you had better sleep with your mouth closed or you'll end up eating more hearts than you anticipated.
