This allowed them to safely navigate around the rocky island guarded by the sirens. Odysseus wished to hear their magical songs though, and had himself tied to the mast so that he would not be tempted to steer in the wrong direction.
A vase is painted with this famous scene and is known as the Siren Vase. It is a wide-necked vessel thought to have been used for serving wine. It used to be in a famous collection of antiquities, paintings and drawings assembled by the brother of Napoleon Bonaparte.

A teenage boy is getting ready to take his girlfriend to the prom. First he goes to rent a tux, but there’s a long tux line at the shop and it takes forever.
Next, he has to get some flowers, so he heads over to the florist and there’s a huge flower line there. He waits forever but eventually gets the flowers.
Then he heads out to rent a limo. Unfortunately, there’s a large limo line at the rental office, but he’s patient and gets the job done.
Finally, the day of the prom comes. The two are dancing happily and his girlfriend is having a great time. When the song is over, she asks him to get her some punch, so he heads over to the punch table and there’s no punchline.

Haha! I like this version better:
A teenage boy is getting ready to take his girlfriend to the prom. First he goes to rent a tux, but there’s a long tux line at the shop and it takes forever.

Then he heads out to rent a limo. Unfortunately, there’s a large limo line at the rental office, but he’s patient and gets the job done.
Finally, the day of the prom comes. The two are dancing happily and his girlfriend is having a great time. When the song is over, he suggests they go upstairs to the room he rented. Once up there he stepped into the bathroom to wash up before they got down to business. When he came out of the bathroom he went to the bed to have sex with his girlfriend but there was a long line. He waits forever but eventually gets some!

As far as ordering a case from jb cases, they have a website with available inventory, an archive of cases made in the past, and a design tool so you can create your own. I don't understand where the difficulty is in ordering a case or why you have to speak with John. Everything seems pretty straightforward...

I wanted to ask simple yes or no question. I have multiple JB cases. I know the procedure. Been there, done that, might do it again, I wanted to speak to Matt(I think that's they guy). Lost interest for now. I need another case like snail needs airbrakes.
