snowyday Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 The great liner was laboring in a heavy sea, but the captain assured his passengers that there was really no great danger. But one mousy little fellow persisted in inquiring again and again. “Are you sure we’re not going to sink, captain?†At last the captain lost his temper and demanded. “What are you – a coward?†“Not at all,†the little man assured him. “I’m not the least bit afraid.†“Then,†said the captain, “you must want to tell your friend good-bye before we go down.†“No, no, it’s not that!†the mousy little passenger protested. “Then, in Heaven’s name, why do you ask me every five minutes if we’re going to sink?†the captain demanded. “Well, if you must know,†the anxious passenger rejoined. “I’ve got my mother-in-law on board with me, and if you should become certain – quite certain – that we’re going down. I want to know. “There’s a few things I’d like to tell her!†* * * * snowyday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
