- Three men went out to fish one night. One man was drunk, and he was ordering the other two to pull the boat from the harbour. The two men were not able to see where they were going and the drunken man who was steering the boat was steering them all wrong.
When they got outside the harbour, the boat struck a rock, but no damage was done.
The drunken man thought the boat was sinking so he jumped out, and he was not able to swim.
He went down twice, and the third time he came up, the two men in the boat, which was now alright, caught him, and pulled him into the boat soaking wet.
The water was pouring out of his mouth, but the first thing he asked for, was some water to drink.
