A friend of mine once worked on a fishing boat off the coast of British Columbia. One day, while passing through the galley, she noticed two fishermen sitting at the kitchen table. They had out an old copy of People or In Touch magazine in front of them and were flipping through it.
“Would you fuck Oprah?”
He paused for a moment, giving the photograph a little closer look.
“Sure. You?”
“Yeah, I’d fuck Oprah.”
And then he flipped the page.
My friend just stood there, quietly bearing witness to an unguarded moment in the lives of men.
