Missing the Boat

gerisullivanI seem to have moved to the wrong Wales today, for mine is the one where 92 tons of whisky and liquor weren't swept off a boat near the coast a few days ago.
They're reporting that all of it sank by yesterday morning, but if you'd bagged even one of the four 40-foot containers of alcohol, isn't that what you'd say, too? The fact that it took 'em three days to say it further suggests that someone had one whale of a party Thursday night, and that they and all their friends are just starting to sober up.
Either that, or there's going to be some really goofy fishing in those parts for some time to come.
