Just as I'm contemplating the mission ahead with deeply burrowed brows - you know, thinking about the dangers and inconveniences waiting for us on the high seas - I hear a godawful crash and some loud bangs, and a deckhand yelling "Sir! The boat is taking damage!"
Well, turns out that our beloved helmsman Bernard had driven the boat into a dock wall at flank speed. The man is cleaning toilets from now on, I'm telling ya!
But what a perfect slapstick event still: I'm down there sombrely thinking of our second dangerous voyage to final destinations yet unknown... and the moment is interrupted by my crew ramming the boat into a dock wall. Oh the drama indeed... and the band, needless to say, just kept on playing of course :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Any chance for a trade, fellow Kaleuns? You get Bernard and I get... well anyone you can spare actually  |
:rotfl: :rotfl:
Well, I would gladly trade you, but i have him making some dissasters aboard my u-boat too, so, we are even!!! :rotfl:
just a couple of night ago, we were beeing depthcharged (it was hell under water, I tell ya) and i ordered for silent running ("Z") key, but by mistake Bernard started the surface maneouver ("S") key... so we got killed in 10 seconds :rotfl:
