Costa Concordia
The current plight of the Costa Concordia reminds me of 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”.

Newlywed farmers
A young farm couple, Homer and Darlene, got married and just couldn't seem to get enough lovin'. In the morning, before Homer left the house for the fields, they made love. When Homer came back from the fields, they made love. And again at bedtime, they made love.
The problem was their nooner; it took Homer a half hour to travel home and another half hour to return to the fields and he just wasn't getting enough work done. Finally Homer asked the town doctor what to do. "Homer," said the doctor, "just take your rifle out to the field with you and when you're in the mood, fire off a shot into the air. That will be Darlene’s signal to come out to you. Then you won't lose any field time."
They tried Doc’s advice and it worked well for a while. Homer came back to the doctor's office. "What's wrong?" asked the Doc. "Didn't my idea work?"
"Oh, it worked real good," said Homer. "Whenever I was in the mood, I fired off a shot like you said and Darlene'd come runnin'. We'd find a secluded place, make love, and then she'd go back home again."
"Good, Homer. So what's the problem?" asked the Doc.
Homer explained "I ain't seen her since huntin' season started."

All Saints Lutheran Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota
At All Saints Lutheran Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota they have a weekly husbands' marriage seminar. At the session last week, the Pastor asked Ole' Westrum, who was approaching his 50th wedding anniversary, to take a few minutes and share some insight into how he had managed to stay married to the same woman all these years.
"Vell," Ole' replied to the assembled husbands, "I've tried to treat her nice, spend da money on her, but best of all, I took her to Norvay for da 20th anniversary!"
The Pastor responded, "Ole, you are an amazing inspiration to all the husbands here! Please tell us what you are planning
for your 50th anniversary."
Ole proudly replied, "I'm a-gonna go get her!"
