- Sir Winston Churchill when once asked why he had booked on an Italian liner when the RMS Queen Elizabeth was available.
'There are three things I like about Italian ships. First, their cuisine, which is unsurpassed. Second, their service, which is quite superb. And then - in time of emergency - there is none of this nonsense about women and children first.'

You know, the news item about the Captain who accidentally abandoned ship reminds me of the sheep-shagger, who, complaining to the judge about his arrest, whined that he had just been minding his own business when that nasty sheep backed into him.
