All this spam talk, and then waking up to this photojournalistic story, not even knowing what it was about, and now a day (or 3?) later, I finally learn about the relevant details from the TFP itself. I overlooked this being news (as I do with everything). I can't speak for anyone in reality, but situations which are not life-threatening, those where I'm one to consider the negative possibilities that can come with any activity involving life and its menial tasks, I'd say I'm not the type to get involved in superfluous legal affairs. This is the 'hypothetical me' on the cruise ship, issuing the statement. "It was an experience and a half."

+ bonus: the picture I didn't really get, but now I understand to what it was referring to...


Members of the U.S. Navy prepare an emergency shipment of Spam bound for a
stranded cruise ship some 200 miles off the coast of San Diego.
