Perhaps it's just my sick sense of humour that makes me find this so funny !
An amphibious boat used to take tourist's around Liverpool in England sank today whilst in dock. Some 22 people got an unexpected bath when they went into the water (which was quite shallow). There were no injuries reported. Prior to 'sailing', everyone was told by the tour guide to scream loudly as the bow tilted (a feature of this tour). Seconds later, they screamed for real as the boat went down ! This is the second time since march that these boats have sunk. Now, here's where I creased up : The boat is very bright yellow, and run by a company called 'The-Yellow-Duck-Marine-Tour-Company' ! LOL ! The Beatles song 'Yellow-Submarine' immediately springs to mind !!! Only In Liverpool !!! |

I saw it advertised one day
Bear Mountain picnic was comin’ my way “Come along ’n’ take a trip We’ll bring you up there on a ship Bring the wife and kids Bring the whole family” Yippee! Well, I run right down ’n’ bought a ticket To this Bear Mountain Picnic But little did I realize I was in for a picnic surprise Had nothin’ to do with mountains I didn’t even come close to a bear Took the wife ’n’ kids down to the pier Six thousand people there Everybody had a ticket for the trip “Oh well,” I said, “it’s a pretty big ship Besides, anyway, the more the merrier” Well, we all got on ’n’ what d’ya think That big old boat started t’ sink More people kept a-pilin’ on That old ship was a-slowly goin’ down Funny way t’ start a picnic Well, I soon lost track of m’ kids ’n’ wife So many people there I never saw in m’ life That old ship sinkin’ down in the water Six thousand people tryin’ t’ kill each other Dogs a-barkin’, cats a-meowin’ Women screamin’, fists a-flyin’, babies cryin’ Cops a-comin’, me a-runnin’ Maybe we just better call off the picnic I got shoved down ’n’ pushed around All I could hear there was a screamin’ sound Don’t remember one thing more Just remember wakin’ up on a little shore Head busted, stomach cracked Feet splintered, I was bald, naked . . . Quite lucky to be alive though Feelin’ like I climbed outa m’ casket I grabbed back hold of m’ picnic basket Took the wife ’n’ kids ’n’ started home Wishin’ I’d never got up that morn Now, I don’t care just what you do If you wanta have a picnic, that’s up t’ you But don’t tell me about it, I don’t wanta hear it ’Cause, see, I just lost all m’ picnic spirit Stay in m’ kitchen, have m’ own picnic . . . In the bathroom Now, it don’t seem to me quite so funny What some people are gonna do f’r money There’s a bran’ new gimmick every day Just t’ take somebody’s money away I think we oughta take some o’ these people And put ’em on a boat, send ’em up to Bear Mountain . . . For a picnic |

Isn't the Yellow Duck Company a subsidiary of Carnival Cruise Lines??
