From a British Friend,
The current plight of the Costa Concordia reminds me of a comment made by Churchill.
After his retirement he was cruising the Mediterranean on an Italian cruise liner and some Italian journalists asked why an ex British Prime Minister should chose an Italian
ship.
There are three things I like about being on an Italian cruise ship said Churchill.
First their cuisine is unsurpassed. Second their service is superb. And then, in time of an emergency, there is none of this nonsense about women and children first.

Very funny Donrent, I don't know that Churchill actually said that but it's funny none the less.
