I thought this was going to be about Christmas wrapping.

I thought this was going to be about medieval ranged weapons.

I thought this was going to be about Bill Laimbeer and basketball in the 80s

I was riding on the Mayflower
When I thought I spied some land
I yelled for Captain Arab, I have you understand
Who came a-running to the deck
Said, "Boys, forget the whale
Where goin' over yonder, cut the engines, change the sails"
"Haul on the bowline", we sang that melody
Like all tough sailors do
When they are far away at sea

I thought it was going to be knots tied into bows that looked like cocks. Turns out I was wrong.

In rowboat, we put balls on our bows.
