“Splendor’ed Ending”

The weary vacationers from the disabled Carnival Cruise ship Splendor were relieved to finally disembark on dry land today. Docking in San Diego pleased the passengers because the city is famous for having working toilets.

Aboard the ship, the passengers had no electricity, cell phone service or Internet. Of course, once they got to their email accounts, they were flooded with palettes of spam.

How bad were the conditions aboard? Once the toilets stopped functioning for a boat filled with 4,500 people, even Somali pirates were like, “No thanks; you guys can just pass right through our waters. Keep it moving. Good luck. Bye, bye.”
