Age Challenged Passenger on Cruise Ship

An 83 year old cruise ship vacationer died a few days ago.  He was on the Norwegian Cruise line snorkeling in the Bahamas.  His name has been withheld until his parents could be notified first.

Reportedly, he was upset that there was an age limit for everything.  80 and under for the water slide, 82 and under for flag football, 79 and under for skeet shooting, and 81 and under to put up the upside-down pineapple on the cabin door.  But surprisingly, there was no age limit for snorkeling.

The Cruise Director specifically in charge of water activities, Mr. Willie Sink said, “This comes as a complete shock to us!  I mean most 83 year olds are in phenomenal health and nothing ever goes wrong with old people, and floating in the middle of the ocean is one of the safest places you can be in the world!  What a shame.  I haven’t lost a passenger in the ocean in forever, or never, or… well ok, last week if you count Ethel.  But we learned from that, and we will not let people in wheelchairs bring it with them, when they go scuba diving.  Well, at least, when she reached the bottom, Ethel was still mobile, for a bit.”

But people laughing at this tragic story?!  Man, those people really need to sea kelp!
