Captain: Who is that man over there on shore dancing around and pumping his fist up and down?

First Mate: Ugh......that's Thrasyllus, Sir.....a local madman. Pay him no mind sir.

Captain: He seems quite happy to see us.

First Mate: Yes sir. He has been there doing.....whatever that is every time I've come to port. Best we pay him no mind.

Captain: He seems to be miming. Looks like he is blowing on a horn. Do you think he wants us to signal him?

First Mate: Sir, please it's best we just igno.....

Captain: He certainly is lively. Give him a toot on the horn!

First Mate: Sir, plea....

Captain: OH GO ON!!

First Mate: Sigh.....yes sir.

I like to imagine that I would've convinced people that he's a harbinger of good luck and if he's not waiting in the harbor for you, you won't come back.

When in Greece ...

A doctor in ancient Greece had a cure for autism? That left the man alive and sane enough to say he missed it? Probably lost with the Library of Alexandria. Centuries of cruelty follow....

(Obviously the man should have been the one to decide if he wanted to be "cured" or not!)

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 39 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The cure was likely "Beatings", and what was cured was probably "going down to the docks"

I was hoping for something more like The Bursar's Dried Frog Pills

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 41 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I'd assume that's because there were no trains and planes in ancient Greece.
