To me, there is a 'Pointlessly tempting fate' aspect to that, which would be a show-stopper (If, that is, my brain was removed and replaced with that of someone who actually wanted to go in the first place...).

And Rahm, like J. Bruce Ismay, is pressuring Odumbo to steam full ahead.

And Bwarney Fwank promenading on the poop deck; Little Timmy Geithner up at the bowsprit shouting, "I'm king of the World!"; and Juan McLame, Lindsey Grahamnesty, Arlen Spectre, Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins on iceberg watch up in the crows nest.

We are soooooo ****ed.  There ain't enough KY or petroleum jelly on the planet for how ****ed we are.

And Al Charletan and Rev'run Jessie are inciting the Black Gang* to invade 1st Class to steal from Whitey.


*back in the days of coal fired ships like the Titanic, stokers were referred to as the "Black Gang" because they were covered in coal dust and soot from shoveling coal into the furnaces that heated the boilers to create the steam.

Doesn't matter; the way they're pouring it on, this is gonna be the first coal fired, steam powered vessel to break the sound barrier, just before we find that iceberg.

After my dad discovered a whole different form of the "black gang", fighting the Forrestal fire from the hanger deck, he switched MOS at the first opportunity and became a snipe.  Believe me, I know much of the "black" humor referring to stokers.
