After a month of bad jokes and puns; I have decided to share some proverbs and sayings about ships and some just quite funny phrases to slip into conversation when one is living on a ship.
Good lines to work into conversation
'Well there is no need to go overboard'
'Seems all shipshape from here'
'Well you're pushing the boat out!'
'Loose lips sink ships'
'A lot of people ask me if I were shipwrecked, and could only have one book, what would it be? I always say 'How to Build a Boat'
'Noah was a brave man to sail in a wooden boat with two termites.'
'Only the guy who isn't rowing has time to rock the boat.'
'We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now.'
'The one thing I remember about Christmas was that my father used to take me out in a boat about ten miles offshore on Christmas Day, and I used to have to swim back. Extraordinary. It was a ritual. Mind you, that wasn't the hard part. The difficult bit was getting out of the sack.'
Deep and meaningful
‘Such is the human race, often it seems a pity that Noah... didn't miss the boat.
'The water is the same on both sides of the boat'
'You can't row a boat in two directions at the same time'

Ik zal je vandaag of morgen een mailtje sturen, met daarin foto's van mijn huisje.
Pas je op met je arm, want je denkt weer dat je er alles mee kan doen. (vandaar dat ie er al uit schiet met schoolslag:P)
