ALL ABOUT ROGER: Cruise Connection

Shy Roger & Swords 

As most of you know, Roger is very shy and has a difficult time writing about himself so it seemed easier to have our editor interview him.  Following is that interview.

Ed: So Roger, what is it that you enjoy about cruising?

Roger: Cruising??  I thought this was an article about Japanese swords!

Ed: No, this is about your upcoming cruise to Hawaii to renew your wedding vows.

Roger: You’ve got to be kidding me.  I’m going to Hawaii to do what?  On a cruise? When is all this happening?  Was I there?  Is this why my credit card is over the limit?

Ed: Calm down.......here, take a valium and breathe into this paper bag.....deep breaths.....relax......better??  OK, lets start over.  So why do you enjoy cruising?

Roger: Well, mostly because Diana likes cruising and I’ve learned over the years that it’s best to like what Diana likes.  I’m not stupid you know.

Ed: So, you’ve cruised before?

Roger: Yes, and Diana tells me I’ve enjoyed all of them.

Ed: I understand that you will be renewing your wedding vows.  What’s that about?

Roger: Really good question!  Apparently Diana wants the option to say no if she has finally had enough of me and my constant internal dysfunction.

Ed: I can certainly sympathize with her.......I thought there was some sort of sewage leak nearby.  Ok, next question.  Do you have a hobby?

"What?? Are you @#&%Blind??"

Roger: WHAT??  Are you @#*&% blind??  Can’t you see what I’m wearing?  Really, what school you go?  Diana says I look like a billboard and you ask that kind of stupid question.....geeze??

Ed: OK, I get it, you collect Japanese swords.  Perhaps something a little easier.  What is your favorite cocktail?

Roger: Ah....finally something relevant.  Bombay Sapphire martini up with no vermouth.

Ed: We’re on a roll now.  Your favorite food and desert?

Roger: I’m with Andre on this one.  What ever is put in front of me is my favorite.  However, as I recall, the sorbet was always outstanding.  Or did Diana tell me I enjoyed it?  Probably I liked it.

Ed: Well, that about wraps it up.  Any final thoughts or comments?

Roger: Yes, Diana tells me that I’m really looking forward to being with friends and family but in all honesty I’m not sure who they all are.  I guess that’s what name tags are for.
