    A Midshipman asks the Master, "What's a bar?"

    The ships Master replies, " Tiz a low lying navigational hazard, usually awash, found at river mouths and harbour entrances, where it is composed of sand or mud, and ashore, where it is made of mahogany or some other dark wood. Sailors can be found in large numbers swanning around both."

    Two naval officers were on shore leave in Malaya. They found a river leading into a beautiful bay and decided to go swimming. They asked a local fisherman. "Are there any sharks in the bay today?" "No sharks.", he replied, so they went and enjoyed their swims.

    Afterwards they found the fisherman again, thanked him and asked, "Are there ever sharks in the bay?". "No, never.", he replied,"Too many crocodiles!".

    An old sea captain was sitting on a bench near the wharf when a young man walked up and sat down. The young man had spiked hair and each spike was a different color.... green, red, orange, blue, and yellow.

    After a while the young man noticed that the captain was staring at him.

    "What's the matter old timer, never done anything wild in your life?

    The old captain replied, "Got drunk once and married a parrot. I was just wondering if you were my son!"

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    "Well," snarled the tough old Boatswain to the bewildered Seaman.
    "I suppose after you get discharged from the Navy,
    you'll just be waiting for me to die so you can come and piss on my grave."

    "Not me, bosun!" the Seaman replied.
    "Once I get out of the Navy, I'm never going to stand in line again!"

    There once was a pirate named Bates,
    Who danced the Fandango on skates.
    He fell on his cutlass
    Which rendered him nut less,
    And practically useless on dates!
