How long have you been in the Navy?
I’ll find out sir is not the answer!
All me bloomin' life, sir! Me mother was a mermaid, me father was King Neptune. I was born on the crest of wave and rocked in the cradle of the deep. Seaweed and barnacles are me clothes. Every tooth in me head is a marlinspike; the hair on me head is hemp. Every bone in me body is a spar, and when I spits, I spits tar. I'se hard. I is, I am, I are!
According to the Class of ‘72 that is.
According to the Flower Children of ‘75, about 50 years, but who really cares?
