"Hello. This is Martin Frobisher. Let me tell you something about what I'm doing, thinking, feeling, and seeing. Well first I'll tell you about what I am doing. Oh, yes. I forgot to tell you the date. It is May 31, 1578. Now I can tell you what I am doing. I am looking for gold. I will now put in some more details. I am thinking that this is going to be the best! We will find the gold one way or the other! I feel great!! I can bet you my crew and I will have or buckets filled will gold when we come back to the king and queen. I need to tell you one thing about going on a ship for about a year. When you get on the dock you feel great and exited to travel the world! It is hard to leave your family. When you get on the ship you will be so happy! But after a month all the happy is gone. People get scurvy. But happily the barber saves the day! When you are more into your trip you will only be on water. All you can see is water." "FROBISHER!!!!" "Yes sir." "Stop fooling around on that silly computer!!!" "That was my boss. If you hear anymore screming it is my boss." "STOP FOOLONG AROUND I SAID!!!!! WE ARE ALMOST AT LAND!!! JUST A FEW FEET AWAY!!!!! HELP UNLOAD!!!" "BE RIGHT THERE SIR! Talk to you later!"
