Don’t know if you’ve ever been on a cruise ship.

I have. Once. It was a low-budget affair as we were all booked onto it for one of these self-indulgent ‘location’ wedddings (not ours).

Anyway, as you know the food is unlimited. It’s cheap, often foreign-sourced Brand X and usually tastes horrible but it’s ‘free.’ Did I mention it’s unlimited?

As you might expect, the prospect of free unlimited food had our larger passengers - let’s call them walking ballast tanks - literally pacing the deck anxiously waiting for the chain shutters to be rolled up and the buffet opened at 7 AM ship’s time. They resembled (overweight) tigers at the zoo except they were on the outside of the cage.

How do I know unless I was there at 7 myself? Fair question. I had completed my workout begun at 5:30 AM. Unfortunately between the food and the fellow passengers I left rather hungry still.
