    Three years, ten months, two days in the Navy. May I be excused from this book report?

    Two of my favourite things - sailors and bananas! Next week may we have foremen and mangoes please?

    "Feuer" shouted Kapitän Lindemann and big Gustav gave his best.

    Don't at least two boys wear soccer jerseys?

    NORMADESMOND: gordon stables: nom de plume of mr. ed

    Come again, Norma?

    LULU: I too am fond of seamen - with or without fruit

    Perhaps you’d enjoy cooking with seamen?

    MISS JANEY: Miss J hopes its not short story...

    Welcome back, Miss J!

    It’s a long story with a “happy ending.”

    MAGO: "Feuer" shouted Kapitän Lindemann and big Gustav gave his best.
    Don't at least two boys wear soccer jerseys?

    Yes, those appear to be soccer uniforms.

    Perhaps a representative has been sent to their school playing field to recruit them into the Navy.

    CYBERPOOF: I don't do well with homework.
    Where's IDV when you need him.

    IVD is down at the docks, of course.

    I'm quite fond of a swashbuckling sea shanty Friggin in the Riggin being a particular favourite of mine, I can almost feel the salty spray on my face.

    Having had direct experience with sailors I can say with absolutely authority that they are highly skilled with bananas of various genus and will never suffer from a lack of potassium or protein.

    Bless.

    Non, je ne regrette rien! Well, there was this one thing in San Diego, but other than that, non!

    Next!

    Have your warts cleared up yet?

    MITZI: I'm quite fond of a swashbuckling sea shanty Friggin in the Riggin being a particular favourite of mine, I can almost feel the salty spray on my face.

    Thar she blows!

    WALLY: Mmm...

    Are you the cabin boy?

    PEENEE: I don't need to read it, sweetie, I've lived it.

    I know!...the book is dedicated to you!

    DAMIEN: Having had direct experience with sailors I can say with absolutely authority that they are highly skilled with bananas of various genus and will never suffer from a lack of potassium or protein.
    Bless.

    It seems that sailors have a no bananas on board superstition.

    I guess they’re getting all their practice on shore leave!

    XL: "Only after you've published your memoir"
    Non, je ne regrette rien! Well, there was this one thing in San Diego, but other than that, non!

    Yes, there’s always that one time…be it in college or in the Navy.

    PRINCESS: It's the story of Jack right?

    Exactly…I know the lyrics by heart as we often sang it in school.

    It is, after all, a Canadian ditty.
