    Unfortunately the camels were all holed beneath the sandline (poor things) and soon sank.
  • mousethiefmousethief Shipmate
    Fortunately our heroes made it to the nearest oasis just as this happened.
  • Baptist TrainfanBaptist Trainfan Shipmate
    Unfortunately it had dried up as Elijah had placed a curse on it.
  • mousethiefmousethief Shipmate
    Fortunately at that moment a giant Ex Machina descended from the sky and installed a pool and a large water tank replete with fresh water. And several shade palms.
  • SirPalomidesSirPalomides Shipmate
    Unfortunately this intervention was a ploy by the malevolent galactic dictator Xenu to gather everyone in one place for a hydrogen bomb massacre.
  • jrwjrw Shipmate
    Fortunately Xenu had ordered the bombs on Amazon and when he realised how much the post and packaging was, he cancelled the delivery and then just sat around whinging about how "everyone's b***** trying to to rip you off these days".
  • mousethiefmousethief Shipmate
    Unfortunately Xenu found the same bomb on eBay with free shipping.

    Unfortunately deserts have plagues of locusts, which descended on them.
  • Leorning CnihtLeorning Cniht Shipmate
    Fortunately, the locusts tasted good.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Fortunately, someone remembered that locusts are edible (!).
  • mousethiefmousethief Shipmate
    Unfortunately they were unable to catch any, these being an evasive species.
  • The5thMaryThe5thMary Shipmate
    Fortunately, someone had the bright idea to have pizza delivered.
  • Robert ArminRobert Armin Shipmate
    Unfortunately the locusts are the pizza.
  • mousethiefmousethief Shipmate
    Fortunately this made them fly slowly and close to the ground, so they were easy to grab and eat.
  • balaambalaam Shipmate
    Unfortunately, they flew slow and low into the Atlantic.
  • NOprophet_NØprofitNOprophet_NØprofit Shipmate
    Fortunately there was a submarine available.
  • Baptist TrainfanBaptist Trainfan Shipmate
    Unfortunately it was an abandoned German U-boat which had been drifting around the ocean since 1945.
  • mousethiefmousethief Shipmate
    Fortunately that didn't matter to the locusts, who landed on the deck to rest.
  • FirenzeFirenze Shipmate, Host Emeritus
    Unfortunately the weight of an entire swarm was enough to crush the fragile and rusting hulk and it sank.
  • jrwjrw Shipmate
    Fortunately the locusts discovered the old ship of fools at the bottom of the sea and were able to keep themselves occupied reading old posts.
  • NOprophet_NØprofitNOprophet_NØprofit Shipmate
    Unfortunately the locusts cannot read so they made stuff up: distorted and zealous inspiring them to various excesses.
  • Baptist TrainfanBaptist Trainfan Shipmate
    Fortunately (not for them) after a few minutes EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM drowned.
  • mousethiefmousethief Shipmate
    Unfortunately in the meantime the humans on the shore were dying of hunger.

    Fortunately, a passing cargo ship saw their distress signals.
  • NOprophet_NØprofitNOprophet_NØprofit Shipmate
    Unfortunately the cargo ship was commanded by a Very Cruel Pirate.
  • jay_emmjay_emm Shipmate
    Fortunately his ship was very understaffed
  • SirPalomidesSirPalomides Shipmate
    Unfortunately the understaffing was chiefly in the sanitation department.
  • NOprophet_NØprofitNOprophet_NØprofit Shipmate
    Fortunately they had anosmia (total lack of the sense of smell).
  • FirenzeFirenze Shipmate, Host Emeritus
    Unfortunately the rescued castaways did not share this condition and were soon begging to be put ashore again.
  • mousethiefmousethief Shipmate
    Fortunately at that very moment the ship was passing by an island and let them debark.
  • balaambalaam Shipmate
    Unfortunately, the island was Atlantis, and about to sink.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Fortunately, a helicopter was passing overhead.
  • jrwjrw Shipmate
    Unfortunately the helicopter didn't see them and passed by.
  • mousethiefmousethief Shipmate
    Fortunately just then it banked and a whole passel of life rafts fell out
  • NOprophet_NØprofitNOprophet_NØprofit Shipmate
    Unfortunately they fell among very toothy sharks which shredded them to ribbons.
  • mousethiefmousethief Shipmate
    Fortunately there were some pomfrets floating by who were just about starving to death, and the ribbons the sharks missed fed the whole school, and they were greatly strengthened and refreshed.
  • MaryLouiseMaryLouise Purgatory Host
    Unfortunately, the over-fed blissed-out pomfrets were not as vigilant as usual and found themselves netted by a trawler of Amazonian fisherwomen.
  • SipechSipech Shipmate
    Fortunately, the haul was too large and the net broke, freeing the pomfrets, ensuring that they did not accompany pomme frites.
  • MaryLouiseMaryLouise Purgatory Host
    @Sipech,, damn, you're good.

    Unfortunately, a second trawler equipped with tear-proof nets and very strong ropes just happened to show up at this moment.
  • jrwjrw Shipmate
    Fortunately some hard-nut type fish turned up at this point who were friends with the pomfrets and the people on the trawler got a bit scared and decided to leave.
  • mousethiefmousethief Shipmate
    Unfortunately their engine chose just that moment to conk out, so they couldn't leave, regardless of their decision.
  • mousethiefmousethief Shipmate
    @Sipech awesome pun
  • jrwjrw Shipmate
    Fortunately the fish gave the fishermen such a good hiding that after they were finally rescued and taken back to shore, they never bothered the pomfrets again.
  • NOprophet_NØprofitNOprophet_NØprofit Shipmate
    Unfortunately the fisher people still had sea legs, so walked like drunken sailors and were promptly arrested when they got to shore for public drunkenness.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Fortunately the arresting policeman was (a) just finishing his shift; and (b) very thirsty, so he bought them all a pint.
  • mousethiefmousethief Shipmate
    Unfortunately they drank like fish.
  • Baptist TrainfanBaptist Trainfan Shipmate
    Fortunately the fish they drank like were (a) very small and (b) teetotal.
  • NOprophet_NØprofitNOprophet_NØprofit Shipmate
    Unfortunately the little they drank was off and made them vomit.
  • The5thMaryThe5thMary Shipmate
    Fortunately, all the vomit sped down the hill and into the sea.
