Missions of the Retrieval Team - Kilts in a Cage

[davedove]

Back on topic here - Our heroes are on a cruise ship that appears to be similar to the "Love Boat" like on TV - - - right?

Right, and they've recently contemplated throwing Grant overboard.

Right, and they've recently contemplated throwing Grant overboard.

Is this idea wise?

Now then James repeat after me.You can put boats on ships,but not ships on boats.Unless you are talking about submarines and then they are called boats.

Right, and they've recently contemplated throwing Grant overboard.

Is this idea wise?

Probably wiser than putting a cruise ship on top of a submarine. The last time I tried that it tipped over and JulieYourCruiseDirector fell overboard.

[James MacMillan]

Thanks guys...

The banter is almost as good as the unfolding story............

But couldn't Grant use the rubber chicken as a floatation device?

Thanks Kevin. Now I have this disturbing vision of how Grant would *ahem* inflate his rubber chicken...

[Jock Scot]

You chaps are missing the point! In this modern day and age we are supposed to be cleaning up the oceans.We just cannot add to the to the flotsam and jetsom by hurling sundry rubber chickens overboard in a willy nilly fashion, who knows where they may end up? Oh, and Grant might scare the fish.

Somewhere I heard that rubber chickens have the puffer fish reflex - when they get frightened they self inflate.

OK - here goes - You can put boats on ships, but not ships on boats. Unless you are talking about submarines and then they are called boats.

So I am right with row boat, and a canoe is also a boat, as is a dingy. But I am still unsure about sail boats and fishing boats..... When they get too big to put onto another, do they just automatically change names? It's a size thing only?

correct, so if it is smaller than an Aircraft Carrier or a Panamax Cargo ship it is a boat

True boats us ALL THREE dimensions of the ocean/ sea/ lake/ river/ bathtub; anything else is a target

Now back to our regularly scheduled off topic
