Captain and crew 1st - sod the women and children!

Post by marisca »

I found this on You tube - never heard of it before but it seems relevant at the moment. If it is old hat or complete rubbish, I apologise...

As Captain I shall be last to leave the ship.

If I run past you on the way off,

you assume the rank of Captain.
