Discovery of North America -- The real story: Thorvald: "we are going to the new world for conquest.. investment, and taking what females there are.. there will be mead and honey and game, the land is rich.." Wife of Thorvald: "You get your ass indoors and chop some wood. The fire is going out. All this new world talk and the boat won't make it across the bay.. stop drinking that stuff, and get it home, or I will go across the bay and see Eric the Big Ready One." (Later wife sees boat fully loaded and her best goat tied to the mast) "You are not leaving with everything we own, without me! What shall I wear when we meet the Indians..? All I have with all your loafing is one sheepskin" Thorvald: (under his breath) "damn women ruin every party.. can't have any fun.. I want to go into history as a great conqueror and all I am is third flugelhorn to two old goats." Wife of Thorvald: "watch that iceberg, steer to the left, I think I see shark.. slow now.. let's stop here... I like the fishing.." Thorvald to self: "never again.. one more new world and the damn Indians can keep it.. maybe I can sell it the Italians..." EC<:-}
