Italian Cruise

Italian Cruise Jokes.. Written by a Brit so make that adjustment for some of the references.


# 1- How do they serve alcoholic drinks on Italian cruise ships? - On the rocks

# 2 - What vegetables do you get with dinner on Italian cruise ships? - Leeks
# 3- What's the fastest way to get off an Italian cruise ship? - Follow the captain
# 4- When the captain of the ill fated Costa Concordia was asked if he knew where he was going he replied "off course."
# 5- So the captain of the Costa Concordia will soon be in the dock. That's more than can be said for his ship

* * *

Costa Concordia... Italian divers searching the stricken cruise ship have found two Scotsmen at the bar.
They've told the divers to feck off, they're all inclusive and they still have 12 days left…

* * *
The current plight of the Costa Concordia reminds one of a comment made by Winston Churchill. After his retirement he was cruising the Mediterranean on an Italian cruise liner and some Italian journalists asked why an ex British Prime Minister should choose an Italian ship. ”There are three things I like about being on an Italian cruise ship,” said Churchill.” First, their cuisine is unsurpassed. Second, their service is superb. And then, in time of emergency, there is none of this nonsense about women and children first…”

I don't care if Churchill said it but it does sound like him. It's a great line.

On my mother's side is the Ismay last name, same as the infamous guy on the Titanic who supposedly behaved the same as that cruise ship captain. He's not really related to us in the findable present, but it's always an interesting thing for the family to talk about.

I'm glad your cruise went smoothly, or relatively so.

Somehow I wonder if Churchill really said it.
