Iff ("if and only if" to the math challenged) you do not mention jeans, steerage, the class system, tipping, clip-on bow ties, snobs, Carnival, kilts, sporrins, white dinner jackets, thongs, teddy bears, cats, religion, or smoking. Or call a crossing a cruise. Or comment on casual attire for formal night. Did I miss any :p

 

I can think of others, but those might be deleted by the moderator. :o

I met a sporrin once, he had been slightly overserved in a bar and became very aggressive. His partner ( I use that term cos I am a modern guy ) said "Watch out chuck, he's sporrin for a fight". :cool:

It is the end of my day, and tho I am very tempted to try to incorporate all of your "unmentionables" into a cogent statement, I must excuse myself.

 

However, let me just state, as my flame-free post, that:

Just because people smuggle booze onboard does not make them bad people.

Ah, giving me a sporrin chance because I'm a newby. ;)

Smuggle? I'd rather snuggle my booze (hic, 'scuse me) while onboard.

You might be a newbie, but you fit right in on this thread. Now, is that a good thing? :rolleyes:

If I fit in, it probably says nothing good about the rest of you. :eek:

 

My parents say they thought I was normal until my first sister was born 3 years later. One of our family jokes is "Abby who?".

 

quoting Young Frankenstein (for those on the other side of the pond):

Dr. Frankenstein: Would you mind telling me whose brain I DID put in?

Igor: Then you won't be angry?

Dr. Frankenstein: I will NOT be angry.

Igor: Abby Someone

Dr. Frankenstein: Abby Someone. Abby who?

Igor: Abby Normal

Dr. Frankenstein: [pause] Abby Normal

Igor: I'm almost sure that was the name.

 

I'm worried about the whole lot of you!:rolleyes:
