Just Like “The Titanic”
Tuesday, October 30th, 2007Me: “That was really heroic of the Titanic’s Captain to go down with his ship. Are they all expected to do that?”
Mel: “Yeah, they are.”
Me: “Says who? Is it like some kind of unwritten rule or something?”
Mel: “Yes. I saw somewhere where a boat was sinking and the Captain of the boat wouldn’t jump off because he had to stay with his boat.”
Me: “I don’t believe it.”
Mel: “Google it.”
Me: “You Google it. I’m making breakfast.”
After 2 minutes trying to look this up on the internet…
Mel: “I can’t find it, but it’s true.”
Me: “It’s bizarre if it’s true. I mean, is it like a fear of not getting another job because they didn’t go down with their ship?”
Mel: “Yeah, something like that.”
Me: “Either you’re dead or unemployed forever. That sucks.”
