We have fitted the normal Rat Guards on all mooring lines as per normal, and have connected them up to the ships electrical system (220V?) so anything that touches a metal plate will be well and truly "zapped".
These should deter any rodents. The Engine Room staff rodents of course will use the gangway and have an appropriate "going ashore" pass so the Chief Engineer has no need to worry!
I am however also worried about the possible incursion of anyone from a well known "rat-pack" - no matter how well they might sing!
We do however need to ensure that the buyers for our burlap cargo are not caught out and therefore need suitable passwords!
We have therefore issued Tasers to all gangway sentries to check anyone who goes on musically about New York, New York or Chicago.
All crew returning on board should therefore remember not to try and sing popular musical numbers until they are in the safety of the PAX lounge.
Right! Off ashore myself!
