No man will be a sailor who has contrivance enough to get himself into a jail; for being in a ship is being in a jail, with the chance of being drowned. A man in a jail has more room, better food and commonly better company. — Dr. Samuel Johnson
Similar to what I asked the Airborne (paratroopers) recruiter at my Army training school when he asked if I wanted to jump from airplanes; “Is the airplane on fire?”
I don’t think Mr. Johnson was talking about cruises when he wrote that. :)
