In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

Man, I can honestly say that I have never heard of a modern blimp going down.  Very tragic.


If the statement on the side of the blimp isn't irony, I don't know what is.

Oh boy I know where this thread is going. (I am predicting Uncle Ockie is going to make a huge post, praising the airships).
