"The Bum Boat never disappoints" is a phrase that will haunt my nightmares
Mary Worth, 10/28/25

Wow, did you know that Dr. Jeff doesn't even like seafood? Did you know he's just been choking it down every other week for years, just for a chance to spend an hour or two in Mary's presence? She knows it, too. "My sole filet is delicious. How are your scallops tonight, Jeff?" she asks, knowing that they make him want to puke, but it doesn't matter. She's already filleted his soul. Maybe that's why he bought his boat: he thought that if she loved fish so much, surely she'd love being on the open water with him even more. And maybe he'll eventually find the courage to simply head out to sea and never come back.
