"Bar Pilot."

I used to know a few, back in my heavy drinking days.

After piloting the bar...gripping with both hands...often times, they became "bus drivers."

Gripping the porcelain receptacle like Jackie Gleason might have gripped his bus's steering wheel.

So...this is how it goes when the pilot has been jockeying too long at the bar...
 
Came across this while looking for some maritime radio sites.

itanic's first distress signal was sent at 12:15 a.m., April 15. From that time till the marconi operators abandoned ship, Phillips sent a constant stream of messages. Here are some of the most important:


00:15 a.m.~~La Provence receives Titanic's first distress signals. Mount Temple and Cape Race also both hear Titanica sending CQD and giving her position as 41.44 N.50.24 W. 00:25 a.m.~~Carpathia recieves Titanic's CQD call. "Come at once. We have struck a berg. It's a CQD OM." ('It's a distress situation, old man.') 00:25 a.m.~~Forth Officer Boxhall comes in with Titanic's corrected position. Phillips resends it as 41.46 N. 50.14 W. 00:45 a.m.~~First use of SOS by Titanic while calling sister ship Olympic, en route to England 500 miles away. 1:27 a.m.~~Titanic says "we are putting the women off in the boats." 1:35 a.m.~~Baltic hears Titanic say "Engine room getting flooded." 1:45 a.m.~~Last signals heard from Titanic by Carpathia. "Engine-room full up to boilers." 1:55 a.m.~~Cape Race says to Virginian "we have not heard Titanic for about half an hour. His power may be gone." 2:10 a.m.~~Virginian hears 2 v's signalled faintly similar to Titanic's probably adjusting spark. (Phillips' was adjusting his transmitter to compensate for the dying power supply from the engine room.) 2:17 a.m.~~Loss of all power to the radio room--Titanic's distress signals end abruptly. Phillips says to Bride "Come, let's clear out" so they climb to the roof of the officers' quarters and assist in launching Collapsible B. 2:35 a.m.~~Carpathia calling Titanic. "If you are there, we are firing rockets." 6:45 a.m.~~Carpathia reports having rescued 20 lifeboats. 8:40 a.m.~~Carpathia calls CQ and says, "No need to stand by. Advise my captain, who has been cruising round the icefield with no result. Ship reversed. 9:00 a.m.~~Carpathia sends to Virginia: "We are leaving here with all on board about 800 passengers. Please return to your northern course
