You can not sink someone else's end of the boat and keep your own afloat. Charles Bower
Dead ahead, through the pitch-black night, the captain sees a light on a collision course with his ship.
He sends a signal: "Change your course ten degrees east."
"Change yours ten degrees west," comes the reply
The captain responds, "I'm a United States Navy captain! Change your course, sir!"
"I'm a seaman second class," the next message reads. "Change your course, sir."
The captain is furious. "I'm a battleship! I'm not changing course!"
"I'm a lighthouse. Your call."

Now that was really cool! I loved it! Great photos, too, Sandra!
This is one instance when I'm pretty sure a seaman second class outranks a captain. Cute story and love the shots. You found some great subjecs at the marina

Great shots but a great story!! I enjoyed that.
I remember reading that in the Readers Digest. I used to love reading their funny features. Since I rarely can remember punchlines, I can enjoy jokes and humorous stories over and over! This once offered Good Morning laughter along with "vacation day" browsing among the craft at the marina. !Thanks!
