A New Nation
A man named Fred has decided to start his own nation. He will place a boat in international waters, attempt to anchor it there, and live full-time on it with a bunch of plants and animals and any stray boaters who happen to drift by.
“I’ve always wanted to live my life my way,” says Fred. “Now I will be able to build piles of sand and put plastic palm trees and plastic dinosaurs on them, and stage battles between the T-Rexes and the Pterodactyls. I can also lay in the Sun in an old rowboat filled with grape jelly, or send emails to myself all day long.”
When asked for comment, his wife Judy said, “We’ll see about that. Last summer he was supposed to clean out the garage, but ended up building a King Kong statue out of old tires on the roof instead. The zoning commission told him to remove that also.”
