China, Adm Keating & Jimmy BUffett

Post by green1 »

Admiral Keating, Commander of the US Pacific Fleet apparently knows a little bit about Buffett.

"This is, kind of, an unwritten law amongst seamen, that if someone is
in need, regardless of genus, phylum or species, you let them come in;
you give them safe harbor... Jimmy Buffett has songs about it, for
crying out loud."

Adm Keating was commenting on China's denial of refuge to two U.S. minesweepers seeking shelter from storms.

The whole problem is that Jimmy doesn't get much airplay in China.

Wouldn't it be cool if he said this before a joint session of Congress and then broke out into the song? :lol: :lol:

Or maybe he could sing the songs to the Chinese and say "See you have to let me park my boat here....Jimmy says so!" :lol: :lol:
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Pinot Noir in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO"

No airplay in China? Isn't China the only country to have their name in a Buffett album title? (Wiki lists Anguilla as a UK territory)
