    The Importance of Precise Communications

    So, yesterday I am coming onto the ship and show my ID. The young Sailor looks at my ID and then at me and says, "Sir, I need to see your backside." I was surprised and flattered and started to turn around. Then the Sailor says "Sir, your ID, I need to see the back or your ID." Oops.

    I tried to push the envelope, but found that it was stationery.

    Have you heard about the new corduroy pillows? They're making head lines!

    So what does your backside look like?
    While no one ever listens to me,
    I am constantly being told to be quiet.

    No enemy of America would have ever been killed if they didn't show up to be killed. HDR
