A Sea Story

A SEA STORY

There's an old sea story about a ship's Captain
Who inspected his sailors, and afterward told
The first mate that his men smelled bad...
 
The Captain suggested perhaps it would
Help if the sailors would change underwear
Occasionally.
The first mate responded, "Aye, aye sir,
I'll see to it immediately!"

The first mate went straight to the sailors
Berth deck and announced, "The Captain
Thinks you guys smell bad and wants you
To change your underwear."

He continued,
"Pittman, you change with Jones,
McCarthy, you change with Witkowski,
And Brown, you change with Schultz."
 
THE MORAL OF THE STORY:
Someone may come along and promise
"Change",
But don't count on things smelling any better.

During my stint in the Navy, we used to say that the difference between a sea story and a fairy tale is the way they began. The fairy tale would start out, "Once upon a time...", whereas a sea story would begin with, "This ain't no sh*t, but...."
