" Sailor Walks into a Bar "

 



A sailor walks into a bar to meet up with a shipmate. His shipmate notices the flap to his jumpers are half unbuttoned and hanging over. He says …

“Your jumper pants are unflapped you might want to button it up and fix that.”

“No, not today. My girlfriend just passed away and it’s at half-mast in her memory…”

" Going AWOL "

 


Fifty years ago, James Cardamom, a northwest Georgia native, enlisted in the United States Navy.

On his first day in basic training, the Navy issued him a comb. That afternoon, the Navy barber shaved off all his hair.

On his second day in basic training, the Navy issued James a toothbrush. That afternoon, the Navy dentist yanked four wisdom teeth.

On his third day in basic training, the Navy issued James a jock strap.

As of today, the Navy has been looking for James for 50 years.

“ FREE ”

 In light of it being the Month of July and the glorious month of our nation's birthday, here's a poem called 'free' for all of you to enjoy...



        Weary am I of the tumult, sick of the staring crowd,
        Pining for wild sea places where the soul may think aloud.
        Fled is the glamour of cities, dead as the ghost of a dream,
        While I pine anew for the tint of blue on the breast of the
        old Gulf Stream.

       I have had my dance with Folly, nor do I shirk the blame;
       I have sipped the so-called Wine of Life and paid the price
       of  shame;
       But I know that I shall find surcease, the rest my
       spirit craves,
       Where the rainbows play in the flying spray,
       ‘Mid the keen salt kiss of the waves.

       Then it’s ho! for the plunging deck of a bark,
       the hoarse song of the crew,
       With never a thought of those we left or what we are going
       to do;
       Nor heed the old ship’s burning, but break the shackles
       of care
       And at last be free, on the open sea, with the trade wind in
       our hair.

" Sailor on Liberty "


A sailor was on liberty in San Diego and got picked up by the Police for being drunk and for vagrancy. The Cop took him off to the Night Court Judge.


The judge reviewed the case and said to the sailor…

"I can understand you getting arrested for being drunk but for vagrancy, I find that hard to believe. I know that your Commanding officer would have ensured you had money before leaving the ship. Would you like to explain just what you did with your money?"

The sailor wobbled up to the bench and said …

"Well you see your Honor, I spent most of it on Booze, and Babes.  The rest of it, I just wasted."
