I am writing you, Dr. Inverbon, to apologize for my gross misunderstanding of the erudite, if abstruse, expressions of your scribe, John. As a paddlewise neophyte, how could I possibly know that I would be gifted with the opportunity of worshiping at the feet of one with your inestimable Anthropological wisdom? Not comprehending the true humility demanded of my lowly position, I have spoken in error and beg your forbearance. My knowledge of all matters nautical is non-existent--no--it begs definition in negative numbers! Please accept the most sincere apologies of one of such limited comprehension. My feelings about myself, today, can only be described as scatological. Happy New Years, Doctor, and may all sentient beings benefit.
