john53 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 The Italian captain tripped and fell into a life boat? Is that a new way to abandon ship a la Mediterranean? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pigsty Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Bloke rings up a model shop. "Do you sell ships?" he asks. "Yes, we do," says the shopkeeper. "Do you sell cruise liners?" "Yes, we do." "Do you have any Italian cruise liners?" "Yes, we've got one left." "Magic! Can you put it on one side for me?" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yuri Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 The Italian captain tripped and fell into a life boat? Is that a new way to abandon ship a la Mediterranean? It's even worse than that... when the Coast Guard ordered him to come back on his ship, the reply was "but it's dark"... So the Coast Guard replied "Do you want to go home?"

SBARC Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 What ever happened to the good ol' days of Captian Smith......piloting the Titanic to the bottom of the Atlantic? Now there was a Captain with honour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alvin5182 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Gents: to play "devil's advocate", I fell ONTO my boat this summer and broke two ribs. Maybe the good cruise ship captain heard the story! Alvin5182 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zerosystem Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 if this doesn't spawn a whole new generation of bad italian accident parodies i don't know what will Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Chladek Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Just remember one thing on Cruise ships, you are always within 7 miles of land. Even out in the middle of the ocean, you are always within 7 miles of land (even if it is straight down below you). ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yuri Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 if this doesn't spawn a whole new generation of bad italian accident parodies i don't know what will It already did.... despite all the black humor on italian tv and newspaper, I saw Letterman talk about that the other night, so I think the thing is spreding worldwide... Anyway... the clearly angered coast guard officer yelling at the captain to come back on his boat is something that helps understand what "duty" is. Not a hero, just a man doing the right thing!

Bonehammer73 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 if this doesn't spawn a whole new generation of bad italian accident parodies i don't know what will Oh, I can see at least two movies come out of this: an Italian subdued thing with Diego Abatantuono as the bumbling captain and an unrelated Hollywood blockbuster in which "Get back on board, dammit!" is said by Ed Harris.

Neo Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) We had a sing on my sail boat saying "In the event of an abandon ship, Women and children FIRST, follow me ! You Captain" man i miss that plaque Edited January 22, 2012 by Neo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
