#3 In the mid-60s I was on an Italian Liner. On the leg from Karachi to Aden the typical sport was skeet shooting off the rear of the ship. More often then not the shooters would aim at the sharks following the ship over the skeet.

Just saying... if they still had old sports on that fast British Cruise ship... it could have been more entertaining...

#5 What Mojo was referring to.

The scene was from the bizarre comedy, The Magic Christian (1969), starring Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr.
