“Signals”



During a Naval Exercise in the Mediterranean, a Signalman rushed down to the bridge with a semaphore message from the commodore and said …

“Captain, this message just came in.”

“Read it out!”

… Said the Captain …

“Well, sir, I….”

… The signalman stammered …

“Just read the damned thing … now!”

… Snapped the Captain …

“Right, sir… It reads … ‘What the hell do you think you are doing, you stupid, blundering idiot? You’re not fit to be in command!”

“Yes, well…”

… Said the Captain …

“Have that decoded at once.”
