THREE SHIPS COLLIDE IN NEWARK BAY, NEAR NEW YORK CITY -- CNN

[Emperor Palpatine]

Yes, and Captain Howard, Captain Fine, and Captain Howard were in command of the three vessels......

[El Gato]

The Orange Sun, a 669-footer flying

A 669 foot long tanker fuel of OJ concentrate? That's a lot of OJ.

[RightWhale]

Three ships. That seems odd.

It is. Two or four would have been even.

[El Gato]

I'm guessing the reporter is talking about some sort of fuel slick.

Or some other fluid, like Orange Oil, or hydrolic fluid.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Of course there was some fuel spilled. And stop calling me Slick.

[genefromjersey]

No-no !

Winkin' and Blinken' were two little eyes
And Nod was a little head
And the old shoe that carried them through
Was a wee one's trundle bed.

Please don't ask me how many years ago I read that stupid poem-or why I remember it now !

[Disambiguator]

apparently one of the ships brakes failed.

Was the ship an Audi?

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

The Silky, the Hilda and the Santa Obama?

Alas, poor New Yorik Harbor

We all live in three New York submarines,
New York Submarines,
New York Submarines.
(Unfortunately, they were intended to be surface ships.)






Pun for All and All for Pun....
Funners & Punners
ping list PING! (see keyword FReePun)
If you want either on or off
this family-safe occasional ping list,
you must be out of your minds....


I don't ping the list to threads that are sacreligious or tacky or seem likely to become so.
(on or off requests, just FReepmail, enclosing a nominal $217.95 list processing fee).

[glock rocks]

Yorik... I canoe him well.

[ThomasThomas]

A 6.0 magnitude earthquake hit Papua new Guinea at 2230 GMT, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.

It was a the link.

[rawcatslyentist]

"I wondered where that drunk captain from the Exxon Valdez went for a job?"

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

That’s the way to put the Bard in Bardge!

[Scarchin]

Bush’s fault!

An oldie but a goodie.

[Kenny Bunk]

Well, you tell that xenophobic "Old Sea Captain" that it was definitely the dredges' fault. IMHO, Dredges should operate as far out of the ship channel as possible and keep out of the way of global commerce and foreign-flag vessels, crewed by hard-working people of color from foreign lands who are just doing the jobs American seamen will not do.

That OJ containership was on its way to deliver desperately needed Vitamin C-laden drinks to women, children, gays, and members of federally protected minority groups who run a gravely disproportionate risk of scurvy in our cruelly capitalist, racist, homophobic society.

George Bush, at fault again!

[Milhous]

Rub-a-dub-dub
Three tubs in a bay,
The dredger, the vessel, the Orange Sun freighter,
If their boats had been stronger
My story would have been longer.

[Salamander]

Do you spend your time, making rhymes of yesterday?

[B-Chan]

Yes. It’s the saddest experience you’ll ever know.

[SunkenCiv]

A three hour tour? A three hour tour?

[Nailbiter]

You think they are looking at skid marks to determine fault in this accident.

[Salamander]

Rats.

All that’s left is the “Aaah-ooo” noises....LOL!
