Happy Thursday Peter and friends. I found this one in my inbox this morning and it just really struck me as hilarious. Hope you enjoy it.
The Navy Chief noticed a new seaman and barked at him,
"Get over here! What's your name sailor?"
"Tom," the new seaman replied.
"Look, I don't know what kind of bleeding-heart pansy crap
they're teaching sailors in boot camp these days, but I don't
call anyone by his first name," the chief scowled. "It breeds
familiarity, and that leads to a breakdown in authority. I
refer to my sailors by their last names only; Smith, Jones,
Baker, whatever. And you are to refer to me as 'Chief'. Do I
make myself clear?"
"Aye, Aye Chief!"
"Now that we've got that straight, what's your last name?"
The seaman sighed. "Darling, My name is Tom Darling, Chief."
"Okay, Tom, here's what I want you to do ."
