I HAVE A DREAM...OF A GREAT BIG BOAT...WITH SLIDES...AND E.COLI

"Mama?" he says.

"Yes, bubba?"

"Someday...I wanna go on a great big boat."

"Oh, yeah?"

"Yes. And I want it to go out so far into the ocean that there's no land anywhere around at all."

"Uh-hmm."

"And I want there to be games and a humongous pool with a giant slide and lots and lots of stuff to do while we're on the boat. But then when we stop in the middle of the ocean, we can all jump into the water and scuba dive with the sharks."

"Ah-hah."

"And then we pull in somewhere that we've never been before and they put down the anchor and we all get down to go find a find a new place to eat and then we get back onto the boat when it's time to sleep."

"MmmmHmmm..."

[Sooooo...do ya think he actually dreamed up this idea all by himself, and that it must've been exactly like this for a 7-year-old Albert Ballin, who designed the first cruise ship, the Prinzessin Viktoria Luise, which was completed in 1900, and who later became the general manager of the Hamburg-America cruise line?

OR...

Do ya think it was probably just another frickin' Carnival commercial???]
