  2. That captain is screwed. Careless and imprudent with the piloting of his vessel and when he wrecks it he runs away leaving the dancing girls to look after the passenger and be the last ones off the ship. Reminds me of Obama.

  3. I'm pretty sure she'd pronounce it "scrimps".

  4. Is it "scrimps" , or "shtrimps" ? I worked at a seafood market ,when I was a young man . One night an "african umerican" woman walked in and asked . " Does you assept foo stamps ? "I asked my Boss if we did , and he nodded . She said "Good , gimme 2 pouns ub jumbo schtrimps , SPICY HOT." I put enough red pepper on them to take the paint off of a house , and sent her on her way . I hope they choked on em . ; ) > SMIBSID

  6. I asked one of our local skippers "Isn't the captain supposed to go down with his ship?" and he said "Only if they nail him in his cabin!"

  7. The mighty Carnival cruise line kept this off news for two days!

    And their Costa Europa(!) that ran headlong into the dock at Sharm El Sheik killing a few crewmen resting in their cabin a couple years ago...

    These cruise ship captains get promoted according to their connexions, not their competences.

    Did you know that the futures Miami harbor pilots have been assigned already even despite the fact
    they are not born yet?(Union rules are like those of the Spanish Armada whose Commodore was a land lubber assigned by the King!)

    Not quite as bad as the MTS Oceanos, in South Africa, whose captain and crew kicked the passengers off the life boats to escape first...
    It was the ship guitarist who led the rescue by the South African Air Force's helicopters.

  10. I'm shocked... Everyone went after the word "shrimps". My first impression was that it shoulda been "hon-gry" not hungry.

  11. Well, I always thought the proper pronunciation was "shwimps".
