A cocky Ensign came up to me and said "I heard you are good at knots,
splicing, and whippings".
I replied to him that I was and he asked me to prove it.
(Loved this guy. He was a star running back at the Academy,
eventually made Captain).
Told him I could tie a knot he could not untie, turned my back
and tied a surgeons knot, turned around and showed it.
He said that is easy and reached for it. When he did,
I threw it over the side and said "Now untie it"!
We laughed our butts off and he said "Got Me'.
I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

A Deplorable!
