Just a brief request:

To those of you who have pets, especially canines, would you please let me know if they enjoy chewing on bones?

Just making sure I know which ones to avoid at all earthly costs.

[pause.]

Also, I think we should ask around and find the most capable tailor aboard this ship. Seems like you could make a bit of a killing when it comes to making a nice suit or two. Just throwing that one out there.

Bonus points, if you could manage to fit an abnormally slim frame. I've only met one man to do it, and I'd like to see someone outdo him, in case he ever shows up and decides to try and mock me for only wearing one suit this entire time.

[you're hurting his old man, magic-resistant brain]

I'm sorry.

[sammyskeleton]

Ah.

It's all right. To be fair, being a skeleton saves me on a lot of hassle. I don't have to eat, and I never have to exercise to keep my figure slim, which is a blessing because I'm rather vain.

I do miss hair, though.

[a slight smile]

There is a lot to miss of life, yes. But it certainly sounds like you've made the best of it while you're a skeleton, which is a lot more than most men would while alive.

[hm] Perhaps you can ask for a hat, instead of the hair. I imagine that'd take more time to maintain, even for a skeleton.

[sammyskeleton]

Ah! I do have a hat. I have a very nice fedora, that goes very well with my suit. My only suit.

I've tried wigs, though. It looks ridiculous. A skeleton can't have hair and not look ridiculous.

Unfortunately, yes. One can't have both.
