Guy and Gus couldn’t believe their good luck; sure their captain went down with the ship, but at least they could ‘wash up’ for his funeral!

Shots From The Heart 
Great one!
dark yet funny!!! I loved it 😀
Guy and Gus are respectful. Washing up is the least they can do for the poor soul. Nice one.
Their captain went down but, sorry, can’t help laughing 🙂
Ha Ha – that one made me laugh out loud!
LOL! Groan! That’s great :O)
Oh, that made me laugh! Thank you 🙂

🙂
Isn’t this heart-warming, Sylvia? 🙂
You did really good! After all
there will be a widow to woo.

Very respectful of them, I must say.
Thanks for the comment on mine. Interesting to know that Bill and Ben made it to Canada in their flowerpots!
Have a great week.
ROFL Best one I’ve read today.
Hope you’ll stop by: Bad Fit

But aren’t sailors buried at sea? Nasty niffs wouldn’t matter there! LOL
guy and gus sure have big hearts!! 😉
Always best to smell nice at the funeral 🙂
Enjoyed that.
Smelling like old fisherman at a funeral is a definite social faux-pas 😉
And very smart they’ll look too!
Well, it is obvious they are fashion plates. LOL I’m sue the captain would have appreciated their efforts on his behalf.
Love these scraggly old salts talking about cleaning up for the funeral! Made me laugh!

There is a good side to every situation. Being clean for every event, even a funeral is a good thing.
Very clever!
LOL! Appearances are everything and particularly at a funeral!! What a fun one for the day! Hope you have a great week!

Appearances are everything you know… LOL!
