My wife’s brother went to the navy right out of high school and now he works for the coast guard. I always call him “The Sailor” because every time we walk into his house he’s got some new nautical home decor that he wants us to see. Last week I was over there for poker night and he had this new anchor mounted up on the wall. For some reason I thought the thing was fake because there was no way that I thought that he actually mounted a real anchor op there. But he told me that it was indeed real, and when I felt it I knew he was telling the truth.

Later that night I had to use the bathroom in his bedroom because the one out near the living room was occupied. When I walked in his bedroom and saw the bed quilts that he had I laughed to myself a little. They had these big sweeping ships on them, which actually looked really cool, but kind of ridiculous at the same time. When I got back out to the game I asked him about them and he told me that his mother had given them to him, which made me feel really bad.
