My brother snapped this shot earlier today, on a half-day sight-seeing cruise, as they headed back into harbor somewhere on the north coast of Sicily. Guess whose yacht this is coming out of port, and guess the name of the yacht.
Here, I'll help with a hint: Jeff Bezos.
The yacht's name (and you can't make this shit up) is "Flying Fox." As in: "So your Amazon Prime order is lost, we don't give two Flying Fucks."

It's not built for bass fishing - is all I'm saying.
Nobody needs that kind of disgusting wealth.

an elderly disabled shut-in.
I pay $6 and change a month for the discounted prime monthly membership.
It gives me free shipping and free access to Amazon prime TV.
And for those on food stamps they do accept EBT as payment for food on their Amazon website.
