Sit,
Roach
"Hi sailor", said the
barmaid, "you look like you're a little down."
"That I am lassie", said
the sailor, " It saddens me to say that I serve under a very tough Captain!"
"That's
a shame sweety, how bad does it get ?"
"Well lassie, recently I complained that there were roaches in me
bunk. The captain gave me three demerits for keep'n pets!"
I am what I
am
As a result of a near mutiny
the overbearing and arrogant captain was forced to see a psychiatrist by order
of the commodore.
As soon as the captain became comfortable on the
couch, the psychiatrist began the session by asking the captain, "Why don't you
start at the beginning?"
The captain said, " Okay. In the beginning I
created heaven and the earth......."
I Am What I
Am...honest!
The Ship's
doctor was interviewing a sailor who was, apparently, trying to get a medical
discharged from the navy.
"What seems to be the problem?", asked the
doctor.
"I believe I am a dog, woof - woof", responded the
sailor.
"I see.", said the doctor, eyebrows raised, "How long has this
been going on?"
"Ever since I was a puppy!"
You Want to go
Where?
A man approached a
overworked travel agent and said, "I want to buy a cruise line ticket to
Norwald."
The ticket agent quickly search his destination book,
"Norwald? Let me find that. Hmm... Let me see... Norwald. That sound familiar
but I don't see Norwald listed."
The
travel agent in a sweat excused himself and disappeared into a back office.
Upon returning and more than a
little flustered he said,
"I-I-I can't fa-fa-find it on the map, just where
in the heck i-i-is Norwald, anyway?" To that the man responded, "In the car.
He's my brother-in-law."
Your Bait is not My
Bait
John went fishing one day
but had no luck at all. He noticed that another fisherman near him was catching
fish one after another. He had to know the secret. He approached the other
fisherman and said, "Excuse me sir, but would you mind telling me what sort of
bait you are using?"
The other man
said, "Well, I can tell you but it will do you no good, you see I am a
surgeon, and quite by accident I found that the human tonsil works very well as
bait.
The next day, John returned to the lake and, just as the day
before, he had no luck. There was a different man nearby having a great time
catching fish.
John approached the
man and asked "Excuse me sir, but would you mind telling me what sort of bait
you are using?"
"Well, I can tell
you but I am not sure it will do you any good. I am a doctor and I am using a
bit of human appendix as bait."
John left, thinking this was all very
strange but vowed he would give the lake just one more try.
On the third day, John still had no
luck. As usual, there was yet another man near him bringing in fish after fish.
John needed to confirm what he, by
now, already knew. "Excuse me sir, but would you mind telling me what sort of
bait you are using?"
The other man
looked around acting a little embarrassed. "Well, I can tell you but it will do
you no good .
"Don't tell me," said
John "your a doctor". "No," said the man, " I'm a Rabbi."
Talk About
Garrulous!
A man and his
wife went on a four-day luxury cruise. The wife was slightly more than
**garrulous. In fact, she never shut her mouth. She talked at breakfast, while
they were lounging on deck, at lunch, at play, and all through the night. But
the husband was used to this and accepted his lot in life.
On the fourth morning,
the man and his wife were standing at the bow of the ship when a lurch caused
the wife to fall overboard.
A crew member, seeing her bobbing up and
down in the water, ran to the husband and said, "Sir, your wife has fallen
overboard!
The husband said, " Oh
thank God, I thought I had just gone
deaf!

Time and Time
Again
A doctor, examining
the first mate, asked, " When was the last time you had relations with a woman.
The first mate replied, " About 1960."
The doctor was more than a little surprised and said, "That was a
long time ago!"
The first mate said.
" Tell me about it doc. It's already 1300 hours on the day after."
Two Blondes in a
Boat...Almost!
There was a
blonde driving down the road one day. She glanced to her right and noticed
another blonde sitting in a nearby field. She was in a boat rowing, with no
water in sight.
The blonde angrily
pulled her car over and yelled at the rowing blonde, "What do you think you're
doing? It's things like this that give us blondes a bad name. If I could swim,
I'd come out there and kick your butt!"
A special thanks to Member Bill from Wilmington MA for this
joke. My wife also said it was fine. She is a blonde ...most of the time....OK,
I'll be leaving home now!
Old Beyond His
Years
From the dock the woman
watched as the salty old tugboat captain skillfully docked his boat. She was
impressed that such an old man would still be doing such a tough job. She
decided to wait until the captain disembarked. As he did, she asked him,"
Captain, what is your secret to leading such a long and productive
life?"
"Well," he said. "I would have to say it's because I smoke three
packs of cigarettes a day, drink a case of whisky every week, eat a lot of
fatty foods and I never exercise.
Wow, that's amazing," the woman said.
"exactly how old are you?"
He answered, "Thirty-one"
Coffee, Tea or
????
The swabbie could
hardly swallow the liquid in the cup. He called over to the cook and said,
"This coffee is sort of funny. It tastes like cocoa."
The cook grabbed
the cup, took a sip, made a face and said, "No wonder. I gave you tea!"
Two Step
Fishing
Two elderly
fishermen, John and Paul, were out on the lake bright and early one morning.
They sat silently as they fished. Each kept very still so as not to frighten
off any fish. After six hours, John shifted his feet. Paul said, "What is it
with you? Did you come out here to fish or dance?"

One Step at a
Time!
The captain of the
cruise liner fell down the stairs on to the promenade deck. The cruise director
saw him fall and rushed to his aid. "Captain," he said, " did you miss a
step?"
"No," said the captain," I'm pretty sure I hit every one!

Two Men in a Boat
Pages
Crab Legs
Anyone?
An experiment took
place on a student science research boat. A young student was studying a crab.
In order to understand better the crab's motor capabilities, he tore off two
walking legs and placed a piece of tasty bait in front of the crab. The crab
crawled to the bait and devoured it. He then tore off two more legs and again
placed some bait on front of the crab. Once again the crab crawled to the bait
and ate it.
Finally the student removed the last two walking legs and
again placed the bait. The crab, this time, never moved.
The student,
very excited, reported his initial findings to his instructor.
"If all
of a crustacean's legs are removed it either loses it's eye site or appetite;
more information to come!"
Big Bad
John!
Paula and John were
walking along the shore, their souls intertwined in great love. John gazed out
to sea and said poetically, " Blue Ocean, roll out...roll out to the setting
sun!"
Paula clasped her hands together, Oh John," she shrieked, " it's
doing it!!"
Boater's Blessing Then.... & Then
This!
A Boater's Blessing from Yesterday:
May there always be water under your boat,
May she
always be seaworthy, ever afloat,
May the bilge pump be certain to work
night and day,
May the compass and charts always show the safe way,
May
you find gentle harbor as every day ends,
May you lower your anchor amidst
peace and good friends.
A Boater's Blessing Today According to Member Steve Madden:
May your out drive be saved after hitting that
rock,
May your bow be rebuilt after ramming that dock,
May you find
that new Rolex that fell overboard,
May your neighbor quit stealing your
slip's power cord,
May FeBreeze mask that musty smell under your berth,
May you someday owe less than the damn boat is worth.

The Beach is Now Open
A man who had never been to
the ocean before finally went to the beach for the experience. Afraid to go
into the water, he asked the lifeguard if he could bring him a bucket of sea
water so that he could wet himself a little. Over a period of two hours, the
lifeguard brought him over two dozen buckets of sea water. Grateful, the man
gave the lifeguard a ten dollar tip.
Returning the next day for more
sun, the man happened to arrive at low tide. Looking around he said to the
lifeguard, "You've been doing a lot of business!"
And the Winner
is...
A man orders a lobster in
a restaurant. The waiter returns with his order, but the crustacean has a
broken claw. The man asked what happened. The waiter said, "It must have been
in a fight."
"Good," said the man, "now go back to the kitchen and
bring me the winner!"
To Punt Oar Not to
Punt!
A Londoner was punting
down the Thames when his oar slipped out of his hands. He drifted aimlessly
when his path crossed that of a rowboat. In the rowboat was a man and two young
women. The punter called over, "Sir, will you lend me one of your
oars?"
The rower became furious and answered sharply, " They're not
'ores! They're my two sisters!"
