"The Bunny Flag"



In the summer of 1963, the aircraft carrier USS Wasp cruised the Caribbean sporting the infamous Playboy “Bunny” Flag flying from the mast. The flag had been kidnapped from the New Orleans Playboy Club during a port visit on June 13th of that year by the Wasp’s Mardet.

 

Flying beside the pennant of Rear Admiral Riera, Commander Carrier Division 14. The “Bunny” flag had boosted morale and was to become a permanent part of the Wasp’s halyards. However, the crew of the Wasp held the flag for ransom and would only surrender it to a “full-fledged Playboy Bunny” upon its arrival in her homeport of Boston, Ma.

 

Sources say once the ship arrived in homeport a “Bunny” was waiting at the pier upon her arrival to retrieve the flag…

 

 

"Why a Battleship is a She"

 

Whether affectionately or spitefully, sailors always call a battleship a “she!” This, they will tell you, is “because she carries a lot of paint to keep up her appearance; because she always has a crowd of sailors around her; and because she makes a hell of a lot of noise in an argument!”

“Periscope Up for a Pin-Up”



A round-bottomed pin-up, typical of the cheeky cheesecake that cheered the servicemen of World War II, played an important part in the submarine swashbuckler starring Burt Lancaster and Clark Gable, and a contest was sponsored by the film’s producers linked her to the most popular pin-up of the day, Playboy Playmate!

Run Silent, Run Deep was the story of the day based on the best-selling novel by Commander Edward L. Beach; the Hecht-Hill-Lancaster production was a kind of up-to-date Moby Dick in which Lancaster played Starbuck to the Ahab of Gable. A prominent, if inanimate, member of the cast is the pictorial pretty posted on the bulkhead of the submarine Nerka and affectionately patted on the stern for luck by members of her crew whenever they were moving into combat.

“Don’t go wasting it,” one of the crewmember chides another for patting the pin-up’s posterior indiscriminately. “Her luck’s reserved for battles, friend. She almost got worn out on the last patrol.”

To help publicize the movie, the producers sponsored a contest to find the real-life girl of 1958 who most resembled the Nerka’s World War II-type pin-up – most resembled figure that is, for the girl in the pin-up was masked. Any girl in the U.S. was eligible and invited to submit photographs. Photos were to be good and clear and a pose similar to that of the pin-up.

Five girls were to be chosen from their photographs and sent to Hollywood with all expenses paid. A panel of judges selected the final winner, and she would receive a screen test and a contract with Hecht-Hill-Lancaster, plus the opportunity to become Playboy’s Playmate of the Month. The panel of judges were to include producer Harold Hecht, film star Rita Hayworth, columnist Earl Wilson, Fritz Willis, the nationally known artist who created the pin-up girl used in the film, and Hugh Hefner. It was called the “Girl Left Behind Contest.”



Story first published in Playboy Magazine in February 1958

"Ma Agnew's"

 









So this Ol’ Salt went into Ma Agnew's whorehouse and said…

 

"Listen, Ma, I want a girl with gonorrhea."

 

The madam nodded and sent him upstairs to a room. Then she called one of her favorites for him. The girl came into the room and started to undress when he asked…

 

"Do you have gonorrhea?"

 

"Gonorrhea? I should say not!"

 

… She said.

 

The old man sent her back. The madam summoned another girl and said…

 

"Shirley, you go upstairs and tell this old sailor that you have the clap. Okay? Let's do what we have to make him happy."

 

The girl agreed and went upstairs, and when the old man asked…

 

"Do you have gonorrhea?"

 

 

… She smiled and said…

 

"Of course I do!"

 

"Good!"

 

… He said …

 

"Let's get it on."

 

They got into bed and fucked for about ten minutes. When it was over and they lay side by side, Shirley said…

 

"Listen, you old bastard, I've got a confession to make. I don't really have gonorrhea."

 

The Ol’ Salt smiled…

 

"Now you do!"

"Even More Sailor'n Limericks"

 


The bunch from last month made waves, so I found a few more for your pleasure. I hope you like these little gems that I worked hard to put together. I hope they’re not too salty for your liking…

 

“The cabin boy,

The cabin boy,

The dirty little nipper.

Put broken glass,

Within his ass

And circumcised the skipper”

 

There was a young lady of Crewe,

Whose cunt was so straight and so true.

That the Navy, when fighting,

Could use it for sighting,

And at full range could sink a canoe.

 

There was a young lady named Miller,

Not a man in the Navy could fill’er.

She was tied to the stern,

When the wheel took a turn,

And was near fucked to death by a typhoon.

 

 

At the corner of Sutter and Taylor,

Lay a girl being fucked by a sailor.

From the crowd came loud cheers,

Except for two Queers,

As they watched his great instrument nail her.

 

 In the Army and Navy the toast is,

To the talented USO hostess.

Who was diddled by scores,

Whoe could not afford whores.

Of hostesses she was the mostest!

 

A great surgical genius named Taylor,

Grafted tits on the back of a sailor,

If his ass had held out,

There is hardly a doubt,

That the cash would have filled up a whaler.


 

 Each Friday his engines abort,

But Scotty is never caught short.

He fills his machines

With Space-Navy beans,

And farts his ship back into port.

 


There was a Greek sailor form Thalia,

Who knew several ways to regale ya,

His principal trump,

Was his cute little rump,

Just behind his huge genitalia.

 

 Meat-rationing did not terrify Miss Davey,

She got married to a sailor in the Navy,

For she knew between his legs,

He had ham and he had eggs,

A big wienie, and oodles of white gravy.

 

A Sailor who’d been ashore drinking,

Dreamed he’d slipped overboard and was sinking.

Indeed he was sunk,

And he smelled like a skunk,

AS he lay in the urinal stinking.

 

I lost my arm in the Army,

I lost my leg in the Navy.

I lost my balls,

Over Niagara Falls,

And I lost my cock in a lady.

 


 There was a young girl from Knox,

Who had no experience with cocks.

She dated a sailor,

Who started to tail her,

And left her to nurse a sore box.

 

A horny young sailor named Clark,

Once picked up a slut in the park.

She was ugly and crude,

And a horror when nude,

But was good for a fuck in the dark.


A sailor who slept in the sun

Woke to find his fly-buttons undone.

He remarked with a smile,

“Jesus Christ, a sundial!”

And it’s now a quarter past one.

 

There was a young sailor named Peck,

Who kept his brute passions in check.

By thinking of bloomers,

Testicular tumors,

And beating his meat below deck.



There once was a sailor named Schlitz,

Who landed on an island of tits.

When the nipples would function,

Without any compunction,

He’d avidly gum them to bits.



 We have a yen, we sailor men,

For cunt juice plain and nasty.

And look at him, instead of quim,

He counsels pederasty!

 


But those sailor men, with the horny yen,

Their heat was not diminished

Till they stubbed their cocks upon the rocks,

And their dreams of tail were finished.

"Love Those Snipes"

 


I'm still laughing about the graffiti I once saw on the shitter walls in the snipe's head onboard the ship. It said…

 

“CAUTION. DO NOT EXCEED 4500 RPM’S… WORN BEARINGS”

"Ships and Boats"

 



AS A SMALL CHILD, I remember my father, a Navy officer, taking our family to the piers.

"Look at all the pretty boats, Daddy!"

… I exclaimed …

"Ships, Tara,"

… He corrected me …

"These are ships, not boats!"

Through the years, I'd tease my father with the same comment, and he'd always reply…

"Ships, Tara, ships!"

Eventually, I married a new ensign who faced a year of training before he was assigned to a fast-attack submarine. One day, when he strolled up our front walk with a grin, I knew he had received his first orders…

"So to what ship are you assigned?"

… I asked as his smile turned quickly into a frown…

"Boat, Tara, submarines are boats!"
