Aug. 19th, 2004 05:56 pmUm.. actually, I'm IN Titanic.
I work in environmental protection, and I've said many times that it's like this. I'm on the Titanic, and the third assistant quartermaster or some other semi-minor flunky comes to me. "I say, old chap," he says. (All Brits talk that way in 1930s movies.) "It seems the old barge has hit an iceberg, and she's taking on a bit of water. Here's a teacup. Your job is to bail her out. Only the wealthy gentlemen are having a dance party on B Deck. Please be careful not to inconvenience them. Should you, in the course of your labors, spill any water on their shoes, they should become quite cross."
Ah, the joys of Trying to Save the World.
:D
