Chumming the Waters [Hey, You!]

Illustration by Bob Aul

You are the neighbor whose yacht is next to mine. My wife and I were coming home, arm in arm, after a fun night on the town when our romantic interlude was rudely interrupted by a roar I can only describe as something out of a bad science-fiction movie. You were hanging over the side of your boat above a rapidly spreading circle of whatever dinner or drink disagreed with you. Thanks for reminding me of the merits of moderation, but please stop feeding the sharks.

  1. Try to be less apathetic and find out if people are okay when they’re in obvious distress. Next time it could be someone YOU love that needs a little extra looking after!
