I had a friend who was a lighthouse keeper for a while. He had been a
major drug freak and somehow ended up married to one of the best looking
girls from my high school class. He got a job as a lighthouse keeper in
an island off the coast of Nova Scotia. Being the kind of guy he was,
he took a couple pounds of marijuana out to the island with him. At
some point he found Jesus and baptized himself in the Atlantic Ocean in
the middle of winter and shortly after his wife left him for the
helicopter pilot who used to bring their supplies.
