If they'd stuck with hyperbolic rodomontade instead of the hard stuff, this wouldn't have happened!

TWO Irishmen who stole a fishing trawler and tried to sail 67 miles across the Irish Sea after missing their ferry home were yesterday nursing hangovers and regrets in a police cell.

So it's OK to steal a boat as long as there is no damage?

I agree that the story is funny. I'm just surprized at the response they got from law enforcement. If this applied to cars, it would be the end of the rental car industry.

People like these two guys, along with Shane MacGowan, give Ireland a bad name.

What do you do with a drunken sailor,
What do you do with a drunken sailor,
What do you do with a drunken sailor,
Earl-eye in the morning!

Chorus:
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Earl-eye in the morning

Shave his belly with a rusty razor,
Shave his belly with a rusty razor,
Shave his belly with a rusty razor,
Earl-eye in the morning!

Chorus

Put him in the hold with the Captain's daughter,
Put him in the hold with the Captain's daughter,
Put him in the hold with the Captain's daughter,
Earl-eye in the morning!

Chorus

What do you do with a drunken sailor,
What do you do with a drunken sailor,
What do you do with a drunken sailor,
Earl-eye in the morning!

Chorus

Put him the back of the paddy wagon,
Put him the back of the paddy wagon,
Put him the back of the paddy wagon,
Earl-eye in the morning!

Chorus

Throw him in the lock-up 'til he's sober,
Throw him in the lock-up 'til he's sober,
Throw him in the lock-up 'til he's sober,
Earl-eye in the morning!

Chorus

What do you do with a drunken sailor,
What do you do with a drunken sailor,
What do you do with a drunken sailor,
Earl-eye in the morning!

Chorus

Hypberbolic rodomontade is what gave us Sinead O'Connor.

I'd rather have two drunks sailing to Dublin via the Great Circle Route.

Good point. If only her parents had read the warning label...

I'm glad the two drunk men didn't kill themselves or anyone else.

Depends on how intoxicated you are, apparently.
