The Seaman & The Captain...

It was a dark, stormy, night. The Sailor was on his first assignment, and it was guard duty. A Captain stepped out taking his dog for a walk. The nervous young Seaman snapped to attention, made a perfect salute, and snapped out ,

" Good Evening, Sir!"

The Captain, out for some relaxation, returned the salute and said,

 "Good evening Seaman, nice night, isn't it?"

Well it wasn't a nice night, but the Sailor wasn't going to disagree with the Captain, so he saluted again and replied,

"Yes Sir!".

The Captain continued,

"You know there's something about a stormy night that I find soothing, it's really relaxing. Don't you agree?"

The Seaman didn't agree, but then the seaman was just a seaman, and responded,

" Yes Sir!"

Then the Captain, pointing at the dog said,

"This is a Golden Retriever, the best type of dog to train."

The Seaman glanced at the dog, saluted yet again and said,

" Yes Sir!"

The Captain continued,

"I got this dog for my wife."

The Seaman simply said,

"Good trade Sir!"
