Dajo5601 Posted January 16, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I feel a bit mischievous today and so I thought that I'd ask the question, why is it always "Man overboard" and why is the dummy that they throw into the water always a "Man", in these enlightened times of equality etc., isn't it time that we had the odd "Woman overboard" ????

David My DW says the answer is easy, because in most cases Man equals Dummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerelmx Posted January 16, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 16, 2018 There is no differentiation between man, woman or child when a person goes overboard. A joke : What do you say when a woman falls overboard? Paul Lynde: "Full steam ahead!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
