The current plight of the Costa Concordia brings to the fore a comment made by Churchill.


After his retirement he was cruising the Mediterranean on an Italian cruise liner.

Some Italian journalists asked why an ex British Prime Minister should chose 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”.

And then again

*How do they serve alcoholic drinks on Italian cruise ships? - On the rocks.

*What vegetables do you get with dinner on Italian cruise ships? - Leeks.

*What's the fastest way to get off an Italian cruise ship? - Follow the captain.

*When the captain of the ill-fated Costa Concordia was asked if he knew where he was going he replied "off course."

*So the captain of the Costa Concordia will soon be in the dock. That's more than can be said for his ship.

*The Costa Concordia is probably the most expensive thing to go down in Italy since Berlusconi's last hooker.

*What's the difference between the Italian economy and the stricken Costa Concordia? Nothing - The bottoms dropped out of both.

Did you hear?.....they've exonerated the captain of the Italian cruise ship on medical grounds.

Apparently he suffers from premature evacuation....
