Terrible birthday

If you have the luck to get one year older onboard, there is three options how your celebration will turn out. The best scenario is that your co-workes congratulate you with cake and presents, a slightly poorer scenario is that nobody notice your special day and you get older in silent forgetfulness. But the worst scenario is that you are signing on on your birthday only to discover that your thoughtful friends on the other watch have rearranged your cabin so it is covered up with plastic cups full of water, nude pictures on the bulkheads and clever traps hidden everywhere in your cabin. I promise that it isn't fun to discover that your bedsheets and your towels are filled with flour and that someone have put invisible plastic wrap over your toilet. But that how it is, when your getting older on a ship where people really care to celebrate your birthday ;)

And when I am into the topic of funny observations onboard, look what I found while I made the inventory of the medical store onboard - Absolut Finsprit! Perhaps only funny for swedish people, however "Finsprit" can be translated to "Fine liquor", and since we swedish people are so proud of our (x-swedish, nowadays french) "Absolut Vodka" I thought my finding was worth sharing since everything made perfectly sense. However, it will be terrible strong drinks, 99,5% alcohol isn't anything to play around with :)
