The last paragraph of Jane Austen’s favourite novel (‘Cecilia’ by Fanny Burney) uses the phrase ‘PRIDE and PREJUDICE’ three times.

In the 1760s, 33 Cock Lane in London was believed to be haunted by a ghost called Scratching Fanny.

When HMS Dolphin stopped in Tahiti in 1767, the sailors found that local women were prepared to exchange sex for iron nails. The Captain ordered a stop to the trade as the significant loss of nails from the ship had massively compromised its structural integrity.

In October 1066 it was fortunate for the Normans that the seas were calm enough for sailing, but some of the horses had to poked in the ribs to get them onto the ships.

Frank Rib-ery Sailed his shot well over the bar and was Fortunate not to hit a small child in the crowd

The Fortunate Isles were an archipelago in the Atlantic (a day's sail from the Azores) according to classicists...it's said that the Hesperides' nymphs lived on these Elysium-like islands and that they were experts at creating a rib on the hull of a boat. #IncludeSailRibFortunate

At the Fortune Bay bar, the crowd was getting loud. Most seemed content to drink their month’s wages
‘Butch’ Peters, who’d just winked at Ralph Waite’s wife, was currently sailing across the room
3 broken ribs and an apology later settled the matter

When my buddy told me to toss him a barbecued rib from my plate, we were fortunate enough to see it sail through the air and land directly in his mouth.

If you are fortunate enough to know how to knit, then the Sailor’s Rib pattern will be familiar. It’s a four row repeating stitch pattern that has a malleable, semi textured, stretchy vertical columns and flat bars; It is used for scarves and jumpers.

How fortunate I am to sail through all these funny, rib-splitting comments.

Although Jonah was fortunate to escape from the whale’s belly, he did not sail around the whale's ribcage. In the Book of Jonah, sailors cast him into the sea during a huge storm, and he was swallowed by a great fish until purged out three days later.

#IncludeSailRibFortunate I invited this lovely lady to sail with me on my boat after our second date, but I didn't realize how thin she was until I saw that her swimsuit exposed a few rib(s), but fortunate for her, I brought a pizza and thankfully she ate most of it.

Adam set sail once again explaining that discounted ribs were a fortunate sign from above as Eve labored pulling weeds from the garden 🥴

Jeff hated being ribbed by his mates for not having sea legs, so decided to sink his savings into a boat he called “HMS Fortunate,” and “sail around the world” to prove them all wrong. However, two days in, he realised… that they were right #IncludeSailRibFortunate
