Recap: Time Travelling Drunk Pirate and Modern Drunk Dude were on their way back to their alley…
****
Drunk Pirate took in the slow stride of the drunk dude and commented, “Arr, matey, why ye staggerin’ like an old sea dog when ye still be young?”
Drunk Dude: My dude, its becz im young that I can take it slow. My people know what true treasure is.
Drunk Pirate’s eye glowed, “Me hearty, ye be knowin’ of a treasure and keepin’ it from yer old mate?”
Drunk Dude sighed in contentment, “Not like someone ur age would understand work life balance, creative expression, mental health, authenticity. Do ya?”
Drunk Pirate furrowed his brows in confusion. Not familiar with the strange sounding words, so he grabbed hold of the ones he could,
“Don’t be callin’ me old, matey! I could out-sail ye ten times over an’ break no sweat!”
Drunk Dude came to a stop,
“Spoken like a true boomer my dude. Okay. I’ll race U. First one back to the alley buys more booze. Got it? Ready set…go”
The Pirate could only watch in drunken disbelief as the drunk dude took off before he even had a chance to reply.
“These young’uns be all blaze and no compass.” Pirate muttered.
