In Mystic, Connecticut, a man took his date to the Mystic Seaport Museum. Trying to impress her with his nautical knowledge, he confidently climbed aboard a tall ship. Moments later, he slipped on deck and grabbed the nearest rope—only to accidentally ring the ship’s bell loudly. Startled crew and tourists turned to stare. His date burst out laughing, calling him “captain of calamity.” Despite the noisy mishap, the date sailed smoothly into a second outing.
