And you know what happens when a ship gets too many rats on board? It sinks. That's what.

I wondered if a ship had ever really sunk that way.

Rats desert a sinking ship.

It is cheering to see that the rats are still around - the ship is not sinking

It sounds mercenary and it smacks of rats leaving the sinking ship, ... But get real, when everyone is bailing out, you don't want to be the last man standing.

When the ship has sunk everyone knows how she might have been saved
