I was just thinking - the expression is perfect. Sort of perfect in its inscrutability. The kind of thing I wish I could draw on purpose when I'm doing faces.
There was a trial in the UK about three men and a boy in a boat. The boy was an orphan and had drunk sea water and got sick... They are him then were rescued a week or two later I think.
...here it is; 1884, the royal family vs Dudley and Stephens:

Lovely. Determined to have been illegal.
So after that, sailors made sure to lie about it.

This would have been funnier with a cow, IMO.
