I have taken up place at the beakhead but even then the earplugs can’t keep out the mindless giggling at Jack’s sad attempts at humor and when she comes she wails like a banshee; a screeching counterpoint to Jack’s low-pitched grunts. I doubt she even understands a word of what he’s mumbling to her.
