#2  Ever been on one of those ships that had things like no toilets and bilges and no place to get away from the surging stink and the steel bulkheads? Dark below decks and more rats than dinner? Got that down. And no one aboard knows if the Eye-talians will let them in or whether they can dock in Albania ? Fun fun fun.
