Unfortunately, after they were imprisoned the Navy noticed they were The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything and were Vegetables and probably weren't harmful anyway so they ate them instead.

Unfortunately, there was an outbreak of food poisoning on board the navy ship affecting all of the kangaroos and wallabies as well as the crew.

Fortunately, the ships doctor had a shot for all of the crew and animals that helped remedy the sickness of food poisoning.

Unfortunately, the ship's parrot had been investigating the supplies and all the labels on the different medicines were torn off so the doctor had to guess which one to use.

Fortunately, the medicine chosen was correct.

Unfortuately, the activities of the ship's parrot allowed several journalists to make a big fuss at the navy's expense.

Fortunately, few people paid much attention to the negative press.

Unfortunately, the press, instead, got busy finding negative angles on some perfectly innocent romances.

Fortunately, those involved in the reported romances were far too much in love to care about unsubstantial articles.

Unfortunately, the original writer of the articles had an attack of conscience when they saw how happy the couples really were and lost their job to someone with even less scruples.

Fortunately, the new, more unscrupulous, writers of articles were so outlandish in their gossip columns that nobody believed them any more, and they were forced to stop writing such rubbish.

Unfortunately the paparazzi began taking photos of the people in embarrassing situations.

Fortunately, the paparazzi were thrown into gaol because the secret services didn't like the competition.

Unfortunately, the secret service had an unfounded idea of what constituted competition and thus the paparazzi were released.

Fortunately, the pictures the paparazzi took did not sell at all, due to an earthquake in the region.
