When you
spend as much time with shipmates as I have, you come to realize the whole crew
of scallywags belonged in an asylum. Here is a small collection of words and
phrases I’ve heard coming from the lips of those ol’ Canoe Club rapscallions
over the years…
From a
shipmate who came from a tender back in the day…
“My
last ship was called the egg factory … Everybody onboard got laid!”
A shipmate explaining what he did while TAD…
“When I was
sent with other shipmates to take part in training or exercises outside of
our command it was called "TAD" or Travelling Around Drunk!”
Referring
to the Westpac Widow at the EN Club…
“She
calls her love pot the Bermuda Triangle … lots of seamen get lost in it.”
Dumb
Sailor and his Pick-up lines…
“Hey,
the Navy called, they want their heat-seeking missiles back, and for you to
stop wearing that dress, you look so hot it interferes with the guidance
system.”
Shipmate
when he came back off of leave…
Mom
said: "I don't care what you call it on the ship. In this house you'll
call it chipped beef on toast."
The
one-night-stand before heading back to the ship…
“Hey
sailor, you left your other discharge here too…”
Chucky ‘V’
aviator when asked about landing on a carrier…
“Shucks,
you can land anywhere,” said Lieutenant Jones. “Nothing to it. What you want to
do is find the flight deck before you do it.”
Female
shipmate underway and horny …
You
had me at… “Get in the fanroom while I close and lock the door!”
Petty Officer of the Watch on the USS
Puget Sound…
"Bong
Bong....Bong Bong.... Pubic Mound, Departing ---- Bong"
Shipmate in berthing joking about
sticking things up your ass…
Remember… “Big flared base, it’ll stay in place!”…
“Long and thin it’ll get pulled in!”
Quarterdeck Watch on USS Neversails …
"D'you hear
there...anyone who wishes to do so and has not done so and still wants to do so
before they cannot do so......do so now."
"That is all"
