"The Laziest Man"

One morning at Quarters, the Chief, when addressing his 25 sailors, says,

"I have an easy job for the laziest man here. You get to eat at the Admirals Mess, wear civilian clothes and listen to your tunes while you’re at it. Put your hand up if you are indeed the laziest Sailor here."

Almost immediately, 24 men raise their hands. The Chief asks the other man,

"Why didn't you raise your hand?"

The sailor replies,

"Because it was too much trouble, Chief."
