Two men survived at sea in a giant esky

This is a true story, though it sounds like the plot for a joke! Two men were rescued from sea after surviving in a giant esky for 25 days when their fishing boat sank.

When asked what went through their mind when they realised their fishing boat was sinking they said their first thought was "Save the beer!!".

The men said they survived the past 25 days mostly by keeping up their liquids and eating the occasional shark that wanted to pick a fight with them. They said one of the sharks was "this big". When asked how they passed the time they said they were kept occupied by chatting up the local mermaids.

The two men are being charged for navigating a vessel with a blood alcohol content 3 times over the legal limit.
