Did they really just say that!?!?

Visiting Londonderry on HMS Tenby we were asked to form a guard for the opening of the town assizes …With us lined up outside the courthouse the senior judge was asked to inspect the guard …as he came along the line he stopped in front of the chap next to me…..“very smart” he said “and what do you do?”
came the reply …..“I`m in the navy”

I asked my neighbour, (Lt Cdr RDP Henderson, for anyone from the Fleet Air Arm) if he had a chirrupy cockney navigator who always died in the last reel. He told me he once had to fly a bishop to Belfast, and as they crossed the tarmac one of his crew, a huge and cheery cockney, said "Here, Bish, do you know why Jesus Christ weren't born in Ireland?"

"Erm, actually, no" (not a well read bish)

"Cos they couldn't find free wise men and a virgin"
 
I was witness to a German fellow training for his yachtmaster. After being asked to haul in on the mainsheet, and having to have the mainsheet pointed out to him he then asked "are they always this colour?"

Now, fair play he's only learning. Except a few weeks later, after again, needing to have the mainsheet placed in his hand, he asked again "are they always this colour?"
 
Me neither - and what was the German doing in the bedroom with the sheets ? Shouldn't he have been on deck handling the sails and stuff ? /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
 
"are they always this colour?"

A sailing joke on a mobo site!, no wonder they didn't get it.

The ropes are only used to tie the boat up, so it doesn't drift away cos the water doesn't stay still...doh /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

P.S. I apologise in advance...
