"Recruiting Application"

 



The prospective recruit was filling out his military application papers when he came to the question: “Have you ever been arrested?”

He answered … “No.”

The next question intended for applicants who answered the affirmative to the previous question asked: “Why?”

He answered … “Never Got Caught!”

"Underway Replenishment"

 Underway replenishment (UNREP) is the method of transferring fuel, munitions, and stores from one ship to another while underway. About every ship in the ol’ Canoe club is subject to this formidable duty. So in light of the professionals who carry on these duties in the most professional of manners, I give to you an assortment of witty cartoons I’ve collected over the years for your enjoyment. Have fun…

"Buddy System"

 

A young Seaman was complaining to the Chief about the “buddy system” and how it was restricting to have to sign out with a shipmate before leaving the ship on liberty. He said he heard it was just a new way for the Navy to keep sailors on a leash and not let them enjoy the little bit of liberty they had. To which the Chief retorts…

“Well you see son, the “Buddy System” has been around since the Greek city-states where pairs of homosexual lovers were eagerly recruited into the Spartan and Athenian Navies. The city statesmen recognized that many fights broke out with Sailors on liberty and a Sailor would sooner die in a foreign port than look like a coward in the eyes of the man he loved.”

“Silly Conversation & Banter”

 


Rather it be sitting around the bulwark on the fantail, hanging out in the cruise lounge or the mess decks, or just shoot’n the shit in anchor windless, the rhetorical storytelling from a handful of long-range prevaricators who would hang around unloading loads of historically inaccurate horseshit made up a typical night underway. When shipmates sit around and start telling no-shitters and feeding the new guy a load of shit, it gets really entertaining. To the unknowing ladies and gentlemen of the real world, we’re mere perverted heathens. Some of these guys were real master bullshit artists. Half the bullshit they spewed was nothing but unadulterated made-up lies, but they’ll swear it to be the damned gospel truth…

“Does anyone else here try to fart in the head while masturbating? It smells like anal as if you’re really there.”

“I just shit and don’t flush it before releasing the ‘Kraken.’ Then I wait for a while, then jack off. Then I wait a little while longer to bask in the ambiance.”

“You sick fuckers. You mean you do anal sex? That’ll give me nightmares!”

“Well, hell! Anal sex is cheaper than having a baby. The worst that could happen is anal constructive surgery, and that’s still cheaper than having babies.”

“Yes, I’d imagine it is cheaper. That brings me to another fine ‘American History’ fun fact. Did you know that in the days of the wild-west and saloon whores, they used to do anal as a form of birth control? And that ain’t no shit!”

“Is that true Chief … back in your day?”

“Hell, I was born in the forties… I ain’t that old! I can think of a lot of ways to bust a nut. Fucking an asshole ain’t one of them. I know some people like it, but it ain’t my thing. For birth control … why not just slap on a Jimmy?”

“Well latex didn’t come around until the 1940’s-50’s … and sheep skins were far and few between.”

“Chief, it all started with you, damned baby boomers! I saw ‘Deliverance.”

“Well hell, my kid brother watches G.I. Joe, and he says knowing is half the battle.”

“Gauddamn, I’m familiar with that phrase, but I never thought it would apply to anal sex.”

“That’s why I carry soap on a rope. There’s a reason the Village People sings songs about the Navy … and it’s the same reason I don’t hang out at the YMCA.”

“You fuckers are nuts!”    

“Yeah, that’s as wrong as two boys fucking on the White House lawn!”

“Are you kidding? Now, kids these days are eat’n butts like syrup and pancakes before Saturday morning cartoons!”

“I found that if you ad half-n-half to Krusteeze Belgium Waffles, it tastes much better than ass.”

“Well, should’a figured something was up when they started making flavored KY and Astrolube.”

“Is Astrolube water or petroleum-based?”

“The Fuck if I know…”

“It’s Astroglide, and yes it’s water-based.”

“How and why do you fuck’n know that?”

“But was it tested on animals? I think PETA would like to know!”

“It’s FDA approved so it must’ve been.”

Yes, these were the inane exchanges and banter on a typical evening after darken ship during a Marlboro smoke break while kicking the smoke bucket. You could bet your lily ass, we were talk’n some shit. It was always fascinating what the next evening’s talking points were going to be… Like ‘Farmer’s Insurance’ … “We knew a thing or two because we’d seen a thing or two!”

"Dropping the Soap"

 


Many years ago, a Sailor had a belly ache and went to see the Doctor. Just as he showed up he had to wait as the nurse was giving birth to an illegitimate baby. So the quick-thinking Doc put the Sailor under ether, and when he came to, told him he had just had a baby! The poor Seaman was quite surprised, but he shrugged his shoulders and carried the infant off to sea, where they spent many happy years, living as father and son. Finally, when it came the Sailor’s time to die, he called the boy over and confessed…

 

“I’m not really your father, I’m your mother. I’ve never even known your father’s name. But I can tell you this … he must’ve been the slickest soap dropper in the fleet!”

"Seamen Preferred"


 

I’d rather be a Seaman

then an Admiral any day,

Though the Admiral gets the honors

And they draw the highest pay.

★★

For the Seaman of the Navy,

When their daily chores are done,

Leave their worries all behind them,

Goes to town and has some fun.

★★

But the Admiral, poor thing,

Has so much work to do,

That they can’t relax a moment,

Even when the day is through.

★★

So let them keep their stripes and bars,

Keep their leaves and eagles too;

I would rather be a Seaman-

Now I’m asking … wouldn’t you?!?

"Having Fun with Base Security"




Active-duty Sailors often ask me what I do now that I’m retired to keep things interesting. I’ll give an example…

I went to the Fort Lewis McChord PX the other day to pick up a package. I was only there for about five minutes. When I came out there was base security writing a parking ticket. I went up to him and said …

“Come on buddy, don’t be a jerk. How about giving a retiree a break?”

He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. I called him an explicative as he glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tires. So I called him another even worse explicative as he finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he started writing me a third ticket. This went on for about twenty minutes. The more I abused him, the more tickets he wrote…

But I didn’t care. My car was parked around the corner, and this one had a big ol’ bumper sticker that read “Army of One.”

"A Sailor's Four "F's" in Life"

 One thing that I always heard about over the years was the Four “F’s” of life! There are several variances to this depending on where you stand on the subject or where you come from. One would be the primordial needs of existence in life…

“Feast, Fuck, Fight, or Flee.”

Another may be concerning the finer sex …

“Feel them, Finger them, Fuck them, and Forget them.”

And yet as Sailors, we tend to mix the other two…

“Feast,  Fun, Fight, and Fuck'em!”

Here are a few toons I’ve collected for your swashbuckl’n entertainment concerning a Sailors four “F’s” of life!

That is all … 




"Feast"













"Fun"












"Fight"










"Fuck'em"

"Send Her a Postcard"

 



“Anything else Sir?”

Asked the attentive bellhop, trying his best to make the Chief and his lady comfortable in their stay at the plush tropical hotel.

“No, no thank you.”

Replied the Chief.

“Anything for your wife Sir?”

“Why, yes young man, would you bring me a postcard?”
