“Back in 1964, the US Coast Guard built the Frying Pan Shoals Light Station. It is located about 32 miles off-shore in what is called “the graveyard of the Atlantic”. In 2004, the station was decommissioned. It was bought at auction and for about a grand, you can now spend a couple of nights there. There are beds, fresh linens and a shared kitchen, as there is an on-site staff for safety reasons. Yeah, honey, I forgot my toothbrush, I’ll jump in the boat and go buy one at the Quicky-Mart. See you in a couple of days... ”

10: You need to call the boss and tell him/her you can't come to work because you're suffering from AGS (Anal Glaucoma Syndrome). I just can not see my butt going to work today: I have got to go diving! NAS is a proud sponsor of the Anal Glaucoma Foundation.
