Who was the first european to sail around or cicumnavigate the world?

Answer 1

Alonso Babalonio Earnesto....


It is a little known fact that old Al E. set off for the mainland from their island off the Italian coast to get the poor wife a loaf of bread. He got lost and by the time he returned home five years later, he had circumnavigated the globe.

It is a sad tale indeed. By the time he returned, his wife was remarried and had two sets of twins, and more remarkably a teenage daughter..

Well, Al was still in love with his wife and still wanted to be part of the family sharing her affections with another man. They would have none of it unless Al came up a big dowery.

Al didn't think that was necessary or fair and roamed through the streets making his case for wanting to rejoin the family without raising a dowery.

Well, to this day you can still here children calling in his favor...


Al-E, Al-E in free!




g-day!
