The Senator Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) That would be adios but point understood. Actually, BB, it's an old, traditional sailors' lament - anyone who's seen the movie 'Jaws' would remember Quint (Robert Shaw) singing it to Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss)... Farewell and adieu to you, Spanish ladies, Farewell and adieu to you, ladies of Spain; For we have received orders to sail to old England, But we hope in a short time to see you again. cho: We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors, We'll rant and we'll roar across the salt seas; Until we strike soundings in the Channel of old England: From Ushant to Scilly 'tis thirty-five leagues. Then we hove our ship to, with the wind at sou'-west, my boys, Then we hove our ship to, for to strike soundings clear; Then we filled the main topsail and bore right away, my boys, And straight up the Channel of old England did steer. So the first land we made it is called the Deadman, Next Ram Head off Plymouth, Start, Portland and the Wight; We sailed hy Beachy, by Fairly and Dungeness, And then bore away for the South Foreland light. Now the signal it was made for the Grand Fleet to anchor, All on the Downs that night for to meet; Then stand by your stoppers, see clear your shank-painters, Haul all your clew garnets, stick out tacks and sheets. Now let every man drink up his full bottle, Let every man drink up his full bowl; For we will be jolly and drown melancholy, With a health to each jovial and true-hearted soul.

Farewell and adieu all you fine spanish ladies.................. And the odds of it working...or not being shot down if it flies...or being able to carry an Iranian nuke...? (Actually, I can answer that last one: effectively zero.) But I did like Ahmadinejad's statement "The jet, as well as being an ambassador of death for the enemies of humanity, has a main message of peace and friendship." Baghdad Bob, at his best, wasn't even that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've forgotten some of Baghdad Bob's best work... http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/jokes/bljoke-iraqinfominister.htm "They're not even within 100 miles of baghdad. They are not in any place. They hold no place in Iraq. This is an illusion...they are trying to sell to the others an illusion!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
