I'm Building a Boat

A friend from college messaged me the other day and asked if I was okay.  I didn't really understand what prompted the message but assured him I was fine.

Then he told me that he saw on CNN that South Carolina has had a tremendous amount of rain and was sinking back into the ocean.  I assured him I had started building my boat this past weekend and should be fine.

After learning I was building a boat my friend asked if I would be taking the pets.  "Yes, I will have to eat", I replied.
