Left on a sinking ship were the Captain and three sailors.The
Captain spoke first. "Men, this business about a Captain going down
with this ship is nonsense.There's a three-man life raft on board and
I'm going to be on it.To see who will come with me,I will ask you each
one question. The one who can't answer will stay behind. Here's the
first question :What unsinkable ship went down when it hit an iceberg ?"
The first sailor answered, "The Titanic,Sir."
"On to the next question: How many people perished?"
The second sailor said, "One thousand five hundred and
seventeen,Sir"
"Now for the third question," and the Captain turned to sailor number
three.
"What were their names?"
