Howcome you crack me up so much, IMP?
Not that I'd admit to liking your posts on any thread where all the
"serious" people dwell. But here, I can sit back and laugh my arse
off daily at the truly dark side that I'm sure I at least in part
share.
Sorry about my first post dissing your unique form of expression. I
believe what I'd said was, "He is proof that the bulls no longer had
the monopoly on morons")... this perverse humor takes a while to grow
on one :) Now I'm addicted. I take back my uninformed insult, and
grant the bulls back their monopoly status.
Here: My is contribution to your wonderful thread. The "best of"
file, all in one convenient place. I'm terribly sorry to tell you
that the one I know to be your perfonal favorite, the pig smelling
the other one's butt, didn't make it. All I can do is assure you
that in the original, unposted draft, he was doing much worse then
smelling :)
Regards,

Using an ingenious system of sixteen water-tight compartments in her hull and more lifeboats than
current laws required, she was indeed a marvel to behold. In fact, a journalist even remarked that
'Not even God himself could sink this ship.'
This message from the Baltic was immediately given to Captain Smith who, instead of giving it to
the officers on watch, carried it with him. Captain Smith encountered Bruce Ismay (managing director
of the White Star line) as he walked aft along the promenade. According to Ismay's testimony in a
later hearing regarding the loss of the Titanic, the Captain handed him the message without comment.
Ismay briefly glanced at the message and then put it in his pocket.
