There is tha classic story of "our two heros" operating in the Persian Gulf who landed on a wrong rig.
Nobody on deck but no sweat ...ops normal PG.
OTH shut down and proceed to the dining room. Everyone is friendly. The lamb was great.
1/2 way through lunch the co-pilot says the the Capt. "Why is there a picture of Sean Connery in the great movie "The Wind and the Lion" on the wall?
Capt. looks and says, very quietly, "That is not Sean Connery and we are on an Iranian rig!"
Capt asks for a deck crew and they depart.
Stangely enough the rig they had been cleared to land on never reported the non-arrival of the helicopter.

Much laughter and a great story.
