NAVY HUMOR
RETURN TO:
LATE BACK FROM LIBERTY
The Captain went out to find that none of his crew was there.
One sailor finally ran up the gang plank, panting heavily.
"Sorry, sir! I can explain, you see I had a date and it ran a little late.
I ran to the bus but missed it, I hailed a cab but it broke down,
found a farm, bought a horse but it dropped dead, ran 10 miles, and now I'm here."
The Captain was very skeptical about this explanation but at least he was here so he let the sailor go.
Moments later, eight more sailors came up to the captain panting,
he asked them why they were late.
"Sorry, sir! I had a date and it ran a little late, I ran to the bus but missed it,
I hailed a cab but it broke down,
found a farm, bought a horse but it dropped dead, ran 10 miles, and now I'm here."
The Captain eyed them, feeling very skeptical but since he let the first guy go, he let them go, too.
A ninth sailor jogged up to the Captain, panting heavily,
"Sorry, sir! I had a date and it ran a little late, I ran to the bus but missed it,
I hailed a cab but..."
"Let me guess," the Captain interrupted, "it broke down."
"No," said the sailor, "there were so many dead horses in the road,
it took forever to get around them."
