snowyday Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 The skipper of a tramp steamer, writing in the log, recording an eventful day, rounded off his task with the entry: “Mate intoxicated.†To the mate, who indignantly protested on reading it, the skipper retorted: “Well, it’s true, isn’t it?†The following day it was the mate’s duty to write the log. He completed his account with “Skipper sober.†The captain stared at it for a moment, and exploded. “Well, it’s true, ain’t it?†was the mate’s rejoinder. * * * Snowyday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
