BATH NIGHT
It was new years eve, all were about to have a good time.There was a guy who had his cabin four along the alleyway from ours.
He was in a very good mood, his wife just having told himshe was slightly pregnant.
As the night wore on he became a little over refreshed tothe level that he began to resemble an octopus, it appeared he had developedadditional arms and legs.
The last I saw of him was at about 0100 hours as we returnedto our cabin.
It was about 0330 hours when I heard the alarm, had to getup and see what was occurring. Looking out of the cabin I saw a very strangesight. This guy obviously still in a state of over refreshment was making hisway along the alleyway much like Harvey Wallbanger bouncing from one bulkheadto another, screaming and stark naked.
Around the corner came an officer with two deck hands todeal with the alarm. I returned to our cabin thinking little more of it.
Next morning the cabin steward told me the story.
The guy had returned to his cabin almost on all fours, hiswife being slightly pregnant had only had mineral water all night. He hadsomehow managed to get out of his clothes and his wife being the good wife shewas had put his suit on a hanger. Unlike us who would have then hung them onthe deck she decided to put the suit elsewhere.
She hung it from the deck head sprinkler.
All was well until we hit a couple of rough waves, thehanger moved and broke the glass phial.
The guy got the biggest shower of his life and wasrather subdued for the remainder of the cruise


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
