"I was helping some passengers put the life boat to sea. At a certain point the mechanism for lowering it, blocked. We had to force it. Suddenly the system unblocked itself and I tripped and I found myself inside the life boat with a number of passengers."
Sure you did, Mr. Ismay.
Sounds like something you'd hear from one of those lunatic guests on Maury Povich. I got drunk and sloppy and suddenly I am waking up next to a goat Maury!
This will all make for a magical made for tv movie certainly...haha.
What is Italian for "Full of Shit"?

I'd be careful bringing that touchy subject up around here. It's claimed by some, that certain of our members have a proclivity towards that type of thing.
But, like they say...................... no names no pack drill.

I'm sure they have an excellent expression to respond to this rather sad excuse.

That was one of the first things that was said (I don't recall if it was by the captain or by other personnel), that he was asked to sail close to shore. Who asked (or order) was not mentioned then.

Well, presumably his bosses. And it was apparently common practice among the cruise captains.

That's what he says now. Maybe it was one of his cooks.
