Drunken Caper Has A Ferry-Tale Ending
A drunken 78-year-old Swede stole a dinghy after a night out in the Danish town of Helsingor and tried to row back to Sweden, but fell asleep halfway. When he couldn’t pay for the ferry from Helsingor to Helsingborg in Sweden, he decided to row the five kilometres across the strait of Oresund that separates the two. Danish police later found him out at sea, still asleep – in one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world.

This reminded me of the song "What shall we do with the drunken sailor"
Have you ever got something in your head which you KNOW is going to slip out? Well I was singing the sone above with about 80 pupils....I suddenly got the words "stick him in a boat with a randy raver", and not "Stick him in a boat with a rusty razor!
I had to ask another teacher to take over....I just KNEW the ords would slip, together with my reoutation! LOL!
Some people are lucky to stay alive. Denise, I love your comment about the randy raver. What a mistake to make.
LOL - I bet he felt a right fool. I can just picture the tiny boat amongst all the ships.
