It was a dark, stormy, night. The Sailor was on his first assignment, and it was guard duty. A Captain stepped out taking his dog for a walk. The nervous young Seaman snapped to attention, made a perfect salute, and snapped out ,” Good Evening, Sir!” The Captain, out for some relaxation, returned the salute and said “Good evening Seaman, nice night, isn’t it?” Well it wasn’t a nice night, but the Sailor wasn’t going to disagree with the Captain, so the he saluted again and replied “Yes Sir!”. The Captain continued, “You know there’s something about a stormy night that I find soothing, it’s really relaxing. Don’t you agree?” The Seaman didn’t agree, but then the seaman was just a seaman, and responded ” Yes Sir!” Then the Captain, pointing at the dog said, “This is a Golden Retriever, the best type of dog to train.” The Seaman glanced at the dog, saluted yet again and said ” Yes Sir!” The Captain continued “I got this dog for my wife.” The Seaman simply said, “Good trade Sir!”
