While driving down to Florida from Virginia to go on a cruise, I get an email from Caribbean Cruise Line that I will be spending Halloween at sea. A party is planned with attractive prizes to be awarded.
Oh, no! I have no costume.
No problem. I stop at a department store on the way. They're all out of costumes, but I did get a black and orange ball cap that says "This Is My Costume". Okay, maybe not contest material, but something instead of nothing.
At sea, on the way to the party, I see some staff breaking down a kids face painting table. "Do you have lots of orange and black paint?" I ask.
First prize went to someone dressed up like a cruise ship shower. If you know, you know.
One of the other cruisers volunteered (too late) to get himself done, paint our hands green, and go as a pumpkin patch.
I've been told I'm just not right.
But I did come in a solid second place.
