Dangerous Virus Affecting Sailors

A highly dangerous virus called "Weekly Overload Recreational Killer" (WORK) is currently going around. If you come in contact with this WORK VIRUS, you should immediately go to the nearest "Biological Anxiety Relief" (BAR) centre to take antidotes known as "Work Isolating Neutralizer Extract" (WINE), "Radioactive UnWORK Medicine"(RUM), "Bothersome Employer Elimination Rebooter"(BEER) or "Vaccino Officio Depression Killing Antigen"(VODKA). Warn your friends,this could seriously compromise sailing....

Re: dangerous virus affecting sailors

Atoll, you have a strange mind!
You must have way too much time on your hands... obviously W.O.R.K.-free still, but maybe you should get into the medication as a precautionary measure. You just can't be too careful...

Worksome which is a mutated version much more resistant to
Normal treatment is becoming more common too. Much more dangerous others can add to your need to work while you work. Very similar to work but you do it so others may enjoy. While your working some are planning to spend more and justify they can, you own a boat and work so hard of course we can afford this. And you spent money on the boat so yes we can all have 2 swim suits so one is always dry. Logically worksome leads to added hidden credit debt fruitless spending marital issues . But were so glad we have work without it others would not enjoy. Back to work
