They say that comedy = tragedy plus time…
…well this news story about a fatal accident when a Roll-on/roll-off ferry capsized had insufficient time distance to be made into comedy. Or possibly simply couldn’t ever be made into comedy.
I assigned the intellectual property rights to the RNLI for this one, but it never got that far. Still, they’ve had plenty of my dosh other ways since.
_ ROLLING ON, ROLLING OFF _
(To the Tune of “Knowing Me, Knowing You”)
CHORUS
Rolling on, rolling off,
{ah-haaaaaa}
Safety checks were not enough;
Rolling on, rolling off,
{ah-haaaaaa}
The Baltic Sea is cold when you’re in the buff.
{fucking cold when in the buff}
Hyperthermia’s not freezing I know,
But my blood won’t flow;
We were all rolling off,
Cos these ferries are duff.
