#sandbar

A ship of large tonnage is to be brought up the river; now, in one part of the stream there is a sandbank; should some one ask,

"Why does the captain steer through the deep part of the channel and deviate so much from a straight line?"

His answer would be,

"Because I should not get my vessel into harbor at all if I did not keep to the deep channel."

So, it may be, you would run aground and suffer shipwreck, if your divine Captain did not steer you into the depths of affliction where waves of trouble follow each other in quick succession.

Gallus: We need to take a left.

Sandbar: Left? Are you sure?

Gallus: I have the map, dude. I’m as sure as I am straight.

Sandbar: (promptly takes a right)

Gallus: … Why did we just take a right?

Smolder: Stabbing.

Sandbar: Stabbing isn't really an emotion, it's more of an activity… That I hope you don't do to me. See, an emotion is more of a feeling.

Smolder: Well maybe I feel STABBY!

Sandbar: …… So, sculpting. Why don't we come up with an idea for a sculpture we can all build together?

Smolder: A knife.
