one’s ship comes in – Wiktionary, the free dictionary https://en.wiktionary.org › wiki › one’s_ship_comes_in
Is this saying still in fashion, meaningful?
We’ve got the train on board but where’s the track?
That women said she’d find the track and we’ve run aground looking for it.
That’s what you get for wandering around in the dark!
Probably the whole quote was not to rely on women bit especially watch out for them in the dark.
LUXON: Thankyou, for allowing me into the Aratere control room Captain. This is truly an honor, and much more reliable than my 757. In return, I hope you and your crew, will accept this hamper of delicious savories, homebaked by my other half. And as an added treat, I pickled the anchovies myself.
CAPTAIN: The honour is mine Luxy. Here, you take the helm, while the crew dig into your most generous offering. One minute later – omg Luxy, those anchovies are disagreeing with me terribly. Please take over, while I hastily rush to the nearest bathroom, asap.
LUXON: Thirty seconds later – knock knock knock, sorry to disturb you Captain, in the middle of your ablutions, but I’m afraid we’re heading towards land.
CAPTAIN: Yes it’s called the north island. Luxy, is their something your not telling me?
LUXON: I was wondering if you’re a fan of the movie, Titanic?
Now the screenplay!
Thanks for traveling on the MV ideology.
I think we need a bigger boat. Oh wait…….
Years ago Flanders and Swann put out a guideline for UK air travel from their own experience. Funny and probably real. I wonder if some wit here could do one for our ferries. It would probably end up showing it’s a ploy by AirNZ which needs more travellers to pay for the exorbitant airport landing fees etc that our wonderful PPP system ushered in – ‘Do come in this way sir’, bowing low. And note that 3xP doesn’t refer to a super-strength mind-bending drug, or does it??
