Hehehe... gold. Is he on drugs??

I've also heard that the reason why they beached was that the rock was "unchartered"...

Good times.

U should mate, I bet when the world turns upside down you'd be there for your fellow man no matter what.

Strange how some people react in dire situations. Sad that this one turned out as it did for so many including the captain as silly as that sounds.

COPY PASTE

With regard to allegations that the captain and crew of the Costa Concordia abandoned the Italian owned ship and their duties prematurely after hitting the rocks, it appears that Winston Churchill may have been correct in his description of Italian cruise lines.
Upon losing the election after WWII, Churchill did what every other defeated politician does, he went on a paid speaking tour. He was nervous about flying, and as a result, he always took cruise ships to speaking engagements abroad. Curiously, he always sailed on an Italian owned cruise ships rather than the British run Cunard Lines.

When asked about this by the British media, he replied: "Well, there are two reasons for this. One, the food, wine and entertainment is much, much better, and two, in the event of sinking there is none of this women and children first nonsense."

This whole thing is very weird (could use other words but cant spell them)
I see in the paper today some woman is possibly going to be used to defend the Captain.
Something about she is a crew/passenger consultant, is not on the passenger list but the ships owners can verify her being on the thing.
What the !!

Here they come:

COSTA CONCORDIA JOKES
Why did Berlusconi rush to the cruise ship?
To look at the gash.

When the captain of the Costa Concordia was asked if he knew where he was going he replied “Off course”.

What is the favourite drink on the Costa Concordia?
Anything on the rocks.

Reports have emerged of an obese female passenger still unaccounted for in the cruise ship disaster.
It’s not over until the fat lady sinks.

Italian cruise ship captain walks into a bar and asks for a whiskey.
“On the rocks sir?”
“Shove it up your a**e”

I’m appalled by the sick jokes about the Costa Concordia.
I certainly won’t be sinking to that level.

My wife went down on me last Saturday.
All I did was book her a cruise on the Costa Concordia.

I went into the Costa merchandise store to buy a hat.
I asked, “Can I have this cap please?”
“Cap size?” asked the assistant.
“Oh f***, not again!”

I’ve just bought shares in the Costa cruise company.
I’m hoping for a good turnover.

I occasionally do jokes about marine disasters but I don’t like to go overboard.

The Italian govt. have proposed to reproduce the Leaning Tower of Pisa at sea.

Reports say though that in the current economic climate it will Costa too much.

It’s not all bad news for the captain of the Costa Concordia. He may never captain a ship again, however, the Navy have shown an interest in him commanding a submarine.

The captain of the Costa Concordia apparently cheated on his wife. He liked a bit on the side.

BBC headline: “Costa cruise share prices take a dive.”

The captain of the Costa Concordia is a keen golfer. He’s rather bemused at people getting annoyed at him for going overboard for his first hole in one.

What has my Ipad and the Costa Concordia got in common. They’re both syncing today.

They’re going to rename the Costa Concordia “Amy Winehouse.”
She was also totally ****ed on rocks.

A couple of honeymooners were rescued from the stricken Costa Concordia 24 hours after it capsized.
They didn’t want to leave. Apparently they thought they’d been upgraded to a water bed.

The people of Italy were relieved to hear that the national soccer team managed to dive to safety after the ship hit the rocks.
Not surprising after the practice they’ve had.

What was the last thing the captain of the Costa Concordia said before the ship hit the rocks.
“Look. No hands.”

I tried booking a cruise on the Costa Concordia, but they said it was full ……
of water.

What’s the difference between the Italian economy and the stricken Costa Concordia.
Nothing. The arse has dropped out of both.

First mate on the Costa Concordia… “Captain. Orders sir?”
Captain.. ‘Let’s head to the nearest bar.”

I went on an Italian ship cruise last week.
I drank so much I got wrecked.
