    Come again, Norma?

    LULU: I too am fond of seamen - with or without fruit

    Perhaps you’d enjoy cooking with seamen?

    MISS JANEY: Miss J hopes its not short story...

    Welcome back, Miss J!

    It’s a long story with a “happy ending.”

    MAGO: "Feuer" shouted Kapitän Lindemann and big Gustav gave his best.

    Yes, those appear to be soccer uniforms.

    Perhaps a representative has been sent to their school playing field to recruit them into the Navy.

    CYBERPOOF: I don't do well with homework.
    Where's IDV when you need him.


    IVD is down at the docks, of course.

  14. I'm quite fond of a swashbuckling sea shanty Friggin in the Riggin being a particular favourite of mine, I can almost feel the salty spray on my face.

  15. Mmm...
    Salty sea-dogs, big docks & lots of hoisting...

  16. I don't need to read it, sweetie, I've lived it.

  17. Having had direct experience with sailors I can say with absolutely authority that they are highly skilled with bananas of various genus and will never suffer from a lack of potassium or protein.

    Bless.

    Are you the cabin boy?

    PEENEE: I don't need to read it, sweetie, I've lived it.

    I know!...the book is dedicated to you!

    DAMIEN: Having had direct experience with sailors I can say with absolutely authority that they are highly skilled with bananas of various genus and will never suffer from a lack of potassium or protein.
    Bless.


    It seems that sailors have a no bananas on board superstition.

    I guess they’re getting all their practice on shore leave!

    XL: "Only after you've published your memoir"

    Yes, there’s always that one time…be it in college or in the Navy.

    PRINCESS: It's the story of Jack right?

    Exactly…I know the lyrics by heart as we often sang it in school.

    It is, after all, a Canadian ditty.
