The Song Challenge: Crocked Conventioneers Canvassing for Can Confront Comrades in Confusion -- FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Two drunken Germans, apparently looking for a toilet during a conference at Frankfurt airport, got on a plane by mistake and flew to Moscow. The 20-year-old men were wandering round the airport when they found themselves on the tarmac and boarded a shuttle bus, which drove to an aircraft bound for the Russian capital. "They got in and sat in the back of the airplane which then flew to Moscow," said Frankfurt State Prosecutor Job Tilmann. "They weren't even at the airport to fly anywhere. They were at a convention and had been walking around, evidently in a drunken stupor," he told Reuters on Wednesday. On arrival in Moscow, they noticed it was cold and realized they had no passports, let alone entry visas. Russian police put them on a flight back to Frankfurt where they were met by Federal Border Police who have charged them with joy-riding.

Bradypus' Comments: Note: I'm not sure if all the terms are transatlantic. 'heavin' is from the retching/vomitting family, and pissed is the UK drunk, not the US annoyed. Slash and pee are both urinate.

What a great party
The schnapps and the beer
I've drunk my fill
Just too much, I fear
I need to find the loo and have a slash

Was it left or right?
I really don't know
But my bladder's tight
I'm needing to go
I'll take a guess and through the airport dash

Chorus
I'm pissed, me, I need a pee
I just got on this bus, you see
Up these stairs to find somewhere to go
I'm heavin' on a jet plane
I don't want to see my lunch again
Oh babe, I need to go

Then the airplane leaves the ground
No idea where I'm bound
But a great relief to pee it all away
My head still spins, my throat feels dry
My vision's blurred, I wonder why
A twenty litre session lasts all day

Chorus

Now the plane's come in to land
I feel so cold, can hardly stand
It seems that I've reached Russia without love
I've got no papers, they send me back
Then another DT attack
When I return I'll need help from above

Chorus
