brewmax,
What a fun thread that you have started here! I have not a quote, but just a small anecdote to follow in the spirit of your last one... and it was from our W. Caribbean Olivia Cruise!

When we were all in our little spots for the lifeboat drill and all answering "HERE" when our room number was called...one couple yelled out "QUEER" instead. Of course, the rest of us gave them a rousing round of applause & cheers.

The crewman who was calling out the room numbers joined in !!! What a great start to the week together!

This one seems fitting for the current topic:

Note: I quote the Mark Twain one because, in their great wisdom, our government has decided to increase the % for the annual seal hunt. An event that puts us to shame!
