I heard a couple of cruise jokes, based on the recent fiasco of a cruise that has been in the news.
If you have a twisted sense of humor like I do, feel free to participate. If not, no problem... "They should have docked at St. Johns." "Cruise reading list included 'The Origin of the Feces' "
My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".

A little more twisted as this dates back to when I was in secondary school (about 14yrs old- so 24 years ago) after a car ferry had capsized.
Was it not one of thoes new tangled car ferries? "Roll on, roll off, roll over" I don't get the docked at St. John's one though. |

Ah I forgot about the American translation of what us English gentilmen refer to as the "Water Closet". Now that I remember the American Vernacular " The John"!
Where does that particular word for the WC originate from? The term John not the stuff that goes in it! Poop deck ....now that I found very funny! |

Is it from John Harington?
We (I mean the yobs, the poor, the lower classes and commoners etc ...not myself as an English gentleman) sometimes refer to it as the "Crapper" after Thomas Crapper. |

Some fellow is actually building an exact replica of the Titanic. Which should be safe now there is no ice left.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Mind you, I was merely guessing at the meaning of the St. Johns reference. Perhaps Chessman can clear that up for us all.
Speaking of the Titanic, Tommy (not to be be confused with Titanic Thompsom... I used a comma), I heard this lastest cruise ship fail referred to on Facebook as "The Turdtanic".

One would think that a boat with that many people on it someone would have had the small amount of thought required to either urinate and defecate over the side or organize the distribution of buckets/containers (I can think of several workable receptacles in the kitchen) to do it in and then toss over the side to empty. Pain in the tush to do no doubt but much better than wallowing in a pile of it while floating in the worlds biggest waste receptacle.
That they did not is the joke. |

Next time I go on a cruise, I'll stop by Costco and pick up several boxes of plastic bags to take w/ me. If something like this happens again, I'll make a fortune.
