A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Bilboes (bil-bohz) is a historical device used for punishment at sea. It consists of a board with holes that secure an offender's hands and feet. It is similar to stocks used on land. It is also an iron bar with sliding shackles for confining the ankles of prisoners, especially on ships.

  • A pirate was put in bilboes for stealing from the ship's stores.
  • The captain ordered the crew to put the mutineers in bilboes to prevent them from causing any more trouble.

These examples illustrate how bilboes were used to punish offenders at sea. Pirates and mutineers were often put in bilboes to prevent them from escaping or causing trouble. The device was used to keep prisoners in place and prevent them from moving around the ship.

Man, there is this girl I visit every month at this one restaurant who I used to go skinny dipping with naked like @ararara always talked about in San Diego. We randomly reconnected like two months ago at this place she works at and we talk a lot about John Steinbeck books. If I don't visit her this month, she might be sad. However, this is my first day not sick and I worry about getting her sick and I am broke. What should I do LSD?

I wish that wearing a mask when sick stuck around as an okay thing like it is in the rest of the world, not all of us have enough sick days to be ditching work.
