With apologies to all those of Italian origin and to those who contemplate a cruise in the Med.

# How do they serve alcoholic drinks on Italian cruise ships?   – On the rocks

# What vegetables do you get with dinner on Italian cruise ships?   – Leeks

# What’s the fastest way to get off an Italian cruise ship?   –  Follow the captain

# When the captain of the ill fated Costa Concordia was asked if he knew where he was going he replied ”off course.”

 # So the captain of the Costa Concordia will soon be in the dock.   That’s more than can be said for his ship.

 # The captain  says he is not guilty of manslaughter.    He has witnesses to prove he was nowhere near the passengers who died.

# I like my women how I like my Italian Cruises.    Wet, wrecked and ready to go down.

# The Costa Concordia is probably the most expensive thing to go down in Italy since Berlusconi’s last hooker.

# What’s the difference between the Italian economy and the stricken cruise liner Costa Concordia?

  Nothing – The bottoms dropped out of both.
