Besides anyway the more the merrier!\r\n\r\nWell we all got on and what do you think, that big old boat started \r\nto sink. More people kept piling on and that old ship was going down -\r\nfunny way to start a picnic.\r\n\r\nWell soon I lost track of my kids and my wife - so many people I never\r\nsaw in my life, that old ship started sinking down in the water\r\nand those 6000 people were trying to kill each other.
