mirth-steak - The Monday Morning Memo

“I was 10 years old and my father was 30 when he took me with him to visit an important old man. After we left, I said, “He is really nice. I like him a lot.”

My Dad answered, “Yes, he is really nice, and I like him a lot, too. But old men like him always keep a sword in the closet.”

Confused, I asked, “What do you mean?”

Dad said, “If you crowd him, cross him, or attempt to ambush him, that nice old man is going to pull that sword from his closet run it through your guts.”

It’s been more than 50 years since I met that old man, but I’ve never forgotten him.

I know a lot of old pirates today who, like that old man, became kings. And I am happy to count them among my friends.”
