Cruisin' for a Bruisin'
I doubt it's a true story, but the recent disaster with the Italian cruise ship Costa Concordia reminds me of a comment made by Winston Churchill:
After his retirement, Churchill was cruising the Mediterranean on an Italian cruise liner and 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.
"Yes?" said the journalists.
"First, their cuisine is unsurpassed."
"Oh yes!" agreed everyone within earshot.
"Second, their service is superb!"
"Indeed!" said the gathering crowd, all smiles. "And the third?" urged the closest newspaperman.
"Well," Winnie said, "in time of emergency, there is none of this nonsense about women and children first!"
