This is a whacky place! LOL Jay

The Luggage finally has some serious competition.

A foot is an English measure of length. It = 12 inches = 30.48 centimeters. 1 yard = 3 feet.

we'll have to see what Sea Patrol has to say about this..;)

111 feet is 55 normal people, plus an amputee or the skipper's pet snail.

55 normal people normal people? where can we find normal people? nobody around here is normal.

Id still put my money on the luggage

OMG!!! This was an ACTUAL telemarketting scam!! Back in the late 80's early 90's in Las Vegas was the WORST time in history for complete scumbags to say ANYTHING to sell anything with little to no regulation of the industry whatsoever. Just before the federal agents started busting down the doors of boiler room operations and arresting people, one of the myriad of companys selling bunk vitamins at about 700%-1000% above retail cost to unsuspecting seniors thru thier credit cards, figgured a play on words would keep them in the clear. They guarenteed that anyone that bought some kind of "platnum vitamin package" - basically anyone that got hustled into spending over $5,000.00 on vitamins - recieved a "40 foot yatch" as a prize which was in fact about a 12" long toy boat with 40 barbie-doll feet glued along the railing. Sigh.

A personal message to raz, and to those of you who seek to mock this fine artist:

raz:
It's good to see that safety was a concern.
The feet on the top would aid in getting the ship to a safe harbor in the event it did a "Poseidon".
If only the makers of the Titanic had been as responsible as you, raz.
Bless you.
g'x

No matter how many times I look at this, I laugh. :) Reminds me of the "Top 20 HERE I COME!" image (from a loooong time ago) that was just so silly, you couldn't help but love it. ;) SnowS

I dread to ask, but where's the HEAD on this vessel?

I think you mean the prow? Fore?..;) more to come..;)

In a ship, "head" often means "toilet".

Correct, Anthony. In the days of sailing vessels, the toilets were locarted near the bow, so the wind would blow it away. That's how the term emerged.
