Back in the days when I wore pusser's crabs (service issue boots).

The skipper lined us up on the quarter deck and told us he had a survey from comand. It's only one question so it won't take long.

Swain he says to me when did you last have sex?

About 2 weeks ago on leave sir says I.

Buffer when did you last have sex?

Same as the swain says the buffer. But it wasn't with him.

He then asked the old chief stoker.

1954 says the stoker.

Thje skipper said that is nonsense do you really expect me to belive that.

The stoker then said but it's only 2100 now sir

Ah fond memories and he never returns my mail
