Solent Nautical College — Sail and Power Boat Training

Two Aussies, Davo and Bruce, were adrift in a liferaft on the open sea, miles from land. While rummaging through the grab bag, Davo stumbled across an old paraffin lamp. He rubbed the lamp vigorously and a genie came out. This genie however, stated that he could only deliver one wish, not the standard three.

Without giving much thought to the matter, Davo blurted out, “Turn the whole bloody Pacific Ocean into Fosters Lager!” The genie clapped his hands with a huge crash and immediately the entire sea turned into the amber nectar.

The genie vanished, leaving only the gentle lapping of beer on the hull as the two men considered their circumstances. Bruce looked disgustedly at Davo, whose wish had been granted, and after a long, tension-filled sigh, said, “Nice going Davo, you animal! Now we're gonna to have to pee in the boat!”
