have you considered taking a job as a mid-1600s sailor
I like scuttlebutt, rum, salt cod, and I can eat a whole lemon on its own.
But I don’t like the heat or back breaking labour, so I don’t think I’d be a good fit.
Doubt they did either, but it was that or starve.

I think with the British navy they hanged you for refusing service, but I haven’t decided if that’s preferable to starving.
