What is it with Italian ship captains?
there was another cruise ship that sunk several years ago and the captain was first off the shop.
Whne questioned he said he told the people to get off. then he left.
this is despicable.

I was thinking of another mishap at sea as well. Wasn’t the captain Greek?

"What is it with Italian ship captains?"

Thier fathers were probably officers in North Africa that surrendered to the hugely out-numbered British in 1942........
"Gepetto, look, six British soldiers - quick, let's surrender the Division...."
