It is to bear the miseries of a people!
To hear their murmurs, feel their discontents,
And sink beneath a load of splendid care!”

“You know, my dad knew a guy who used to work on boats. I loved him. Sadly, he drowned one night on lake Gosser with his friend who was secretly a queer. They did a little more than fishing that night and then proceeded to sink the boat as an act of love. That scallywag was my good ol pops and his cousin Jonny.”
