This Ain't No Sh*t ! Earl Shepard

What's the difference between a Sea Story and a Fairy Tale? A Fairy Tale starts out with Once Upon A Time-And a Sea Story starts out with This "Aint" No Sh*t! That just happens to be the title of my book, A collection of short stories chronicling the life and tales of a merchant mariner. Having sailed 31 years to date, I've lived these stories. Three weeks out to sea at a clip allowed me the time to pass down these stories to some of my ship mates, who have begged me to share them with the world. Without your help though, the world will never hear the one about the Nova Scotian monkey that just about tour my ears off, nor the day the raw sew age holding tank exploded on our own Captain Bligh. Sure, other books have logged the travels of seafarers, but a book like this took the hilarious antics of dozens of pranksters and know-it-all captains to come about. Give a read to a few of my tales, and you'll be among the many who laughed so hard they could barely breathe. That, my friend, "Ain't" No Sh*t!
