Cruise Ship Humor

# How do they serve alcoholic drinks on Italian cruise ships? - On the rocks


# What vegetables do you get with dinner on Italian cruise ships? - Leeks


# What's the fastest way to get off an Italian cruise ship? - Follow the captain


# When the captain of the ill fated Costa Concordia was asked if he knew where he was going he replied "off course."


# So the captain of the Costa Concordia will soon be in the dock. That's more than can be said for his ship.
.


# The Costa Concordia is probably the most expensive thing to go down in Italy since Berlusconi's last hooker.




# What's the difference between the Italian economy and the stricken cruise liner Costa Concordia? Nothing - The bottoms dropped out of both.

Dumb Truckers

While driving along the back roads of a small town, two Arkansas truckers came to an overpass with a sign that read CLEARANCE 11'3". They got out and measured their rig, which was 12'4".
"What do you think?" one asked the other.
The driver looked around carefully, then shifted into first.
"Not a cop in sight. Let's take a chance!"
