Back in the good old days of the 19th century, paint was a very precious commodity and British merchants could make a small fortune supplying paint to the colonies.
One company sent a clipper ship full of red paint across the ocean.
As luck would have it, bad luck unfortunately, they collided with another ship that was full of blue paint.
As a result of this shipwreck, both crews were … marooned.
Well we did put this in the bad jokes category, what do you expect!
