This is weird...early this morning I was in the 1400 spot & now I'm at 1399. Jessie clearly thinks he's at 1401. So what happened? I call shenanigans!

Surely the mods must have some system for deciding which poor soul has to monitor this thread. Although I can't think which one might have screwed up badly enough to pull the duty.
I've just read some news that has rocked me to my very core! You think you can rely, depend, count on someone and they prove you wrong. And after many years. I didn't really know where to post this, but since I was already in this thread, observing the bacon goodness, I opted to post it here. You've got to understand, I've believed in this person for years, & to find out that they've been living a lie for many years just shakes my faith in humanity. I just found out that Cap'n Crunch IS NOT A CAPTAIN!!! He's only got three stripes on his epaulets, which would make him a commander. A Cap'n would have four stripes. I ask all the Navy guys here for verification.![]()
"Alright! You, Johnson! Get over to the Annoyed thread & keep an eye on those remedial's. I don't care! No one wants to do it, but today's your turn in the bucket! Move it, move it, move it!"
Maybe something like that?![]()
"Isn't the commander of a ship referred to as Captain regardless of his rank? Not a Navy guy, but I've watched a lot of navy movies. Not to mention McHale's Navy. Ironically, Ernest Borgnine was in the Navy in WW II. On a destroyer, not a PT boat. And he wasn't the Captain.
How's that for thread drift?" Gary S.
"You do not have to have the rank of Captain to be the Captain of a ship. At least that's what the Skipper told me." Kwselke
That's one of the things I love about this Forum;there's always someone ready to call BS on you...even if you're just trying to post something HUMOROUS!

I was once teaching a class and one of the students (an adult) made a wise acre comment. I looked at him and he said, "That was a joke."
I replied, "It can't be a joke, I've heard jokes before, they're funny."
He however got the last laugh about an hour later when I said something that I thought was funny. Guess what he said to me?
Friday was Pi day, 3/14. I like pi.
