Any cruisers here?

My wife passed away six months ago and I decided that maybe it would be good therapy to go alone on a cruise...a true story:

I met many interesting people...for instance, I met a woman from Chatanooga who had four children in prison...a very nice obese woman from Portland who literally stole my dessert one night...an elderly man from San Francisco who thought he was on a gay cruise and a very elderly lady who, at dinner, graphically told us many stories about her life as a hooker in NYC. One of the wives felt offended and World War III broke out. That convinced me that I would dine alone at the buffet the next night.

That didn't work either...I was joined by a couple who breed Pit Bulls. I really am not partial to Pit Bulls. You know the old adage about people looking like their dogs...It's true.

Ok, the next night was formal...not my bag...but with my tie askew, I decided to seek out the funseekers. Why do people that get all gussied up decide that they are important socialites. I met five multi-millionaire couples staying in inside staterooms.

Ah, the final dinner. I bought two bottles of wine for the table only to discover that two of the couples were Mormon. So Shirley (can't remember her husbands name) and I drank the wine. We had a great time but she had a laugh that resembled a fire truck and we were asked to leave.

Staggering to my room I was accosted by Shirley's husband who accused me of being a "cruiser gigalo". I got out of that confrontation by throwing up on his shoes.

Bad waste of a 2004 Berringer Merlot.

When single, think twice about cruising.
