"Navy Wives"

A Navy Wife found out that her sailor husband had stopped paying the bills while away at sea. Needing financial support she went to Navy Relief. After the initial greetings the gentleman asked the names of any children she had...

"Dave, Dave, Dave, Dave, Dave, Dave, Dave, Dave, Dave, and Dave!"

… She replied …

"Ten children all named Dave? If you don't mind, how do you ever call them to dinner?"

… He asked …

"I just shout, dinner time Dave, and they all come."

… She said with a smile …

"No... What I mean is, how do you call just one of them?"

“That’s easy, I just call him by his last name."
