Thus, no doubt you will be familiar with this one.
Subject:
CHANGE YOUR UNDERWEAR
THERE IS TRUTH IN THIS STORY
There's an old sea story about a commanding officer of a submarine who inspected
his sailors,
and afterward told the first lieutenant that his crew smelled badly.
The CO suggested perhaps it would
help if the sailors would change
their underwear occasionally.
The first lieutenant responded,
"Yes sir, I'll see to it immediately!"
He went below to seek out a WO
Stoker and to brief him accordingly.
The first lieutenant went straight to the wardroom on completion
and the WO Stoker, after saying
aye aye sir, went forward to the stokers mess
and announced,
"The skipper thinks you guys smell bad
and wants you to change your underwear."
He continued,
"Pittman, you change with Jones,
McCarthy, you change with Bastard*,
and Brown, you change with Death*."
*
These are common submariner surnames
THE MORAL OF THE STORY:
Someone may come along and promise
"Change",
but don't count on things smelling [or getting] any
better.
