A sailor was caught AWOL as he tried to sneak on board his ship at about 3 a.m.
The
chief petty officer spied him and ordered the sailor to stop. Upon hearing the
sailor's
lame explanation for his tardiness, the officer ordered the sailor, "Take this
broom and
sweep every link on this anchor chain by morning or it's the brig for you!" The
sailor
began to pick up the broom and commence performing his charge. As he began to
sweep, a tern landed on the broom handle. The sailor yelled at the bird to
leave, but it
didn't. The lad picked the tern off the broom handle, giving the bird a toss.
The bird left,
only to return and light once again on the broom handle. The sailor went through
the
same routine all over again, with the same result. He couldn't get any cleaning
done
because he can only sweep at the chain once or twice before the blasted bird
returns.
When morning came, so did the chief petty officer, to check up on his wayward
sailor.
"What in the heck have you been doing all night? This chain is no cleaner than
when you
started! What have you to say for yourself, sailor?" barked the chief. "Honest,
chief,"
came the reply, "I tossed a tern all night and couldn't sweep a link!"
