Will someone let me in on the Bernard joke?

Who is this Bernard feller and what makes him so unlucky?

Bernard is the Nick Name someone once gave to the generic 3d crewmen you see aboard you boat in SH3, when ever you do do somthing stupid in the game such as crash in to a harbour.....blame it on Bernard....

Somehow this caught on big time.

Our Bernard is family! Every Boot has a one!

Everytime something goes horribly worng, and you don't want to blame you own actions for you negligence/stupidity/being a complete numpty (delete as appropriate) - you blame Bernard.

Simple as that.

Thats right Fox becuase my cousin has that game and now blames Bernard as the derailer of his trains.
