The Titanic

Everybody in the ship is shouting, crying, running or praying to God...
Just then a Italian asks the nearby Pupa in the ship.
Italian: How far is land, from here?
Pupa: Two miles...
Italian: Only two miles, Then why are these fools making noise. I have got the experience of swimming even more.
The Italian jumps off the ship into the sea and comes up to the layer to ask something again.
Italian: Just tell me which side is land two miles from here?
Pupa: Downwards...
