Here's To Your Health
The three fisherman were shocked when an angel appeared in the boat. The angel said, "I would like to do something nice for each of you".
The first fisherman spoke up, " I have suffered with back pain for years". The angel touches the man's back and he felt instant relief.
The second fisherman said, " I am nearly blind without my glasses! The angel took off his glasses and threw them out of the boat. The instant they hit the water the man's eyesight cleared to the point of perfect.
The angel turned towards the third fisherman who was half out of the boat. As he hit the water he cried, "Don't touch me - it took me two year to get on disability!
Can You Fix Me?
The seaman was suffering from a bad cold and begs the Ship's Doctor for some relief. The Doc prescribed a few pills but after a week the seaman was still ill. So the Doctor gave the seaman several shots with no result.
"Okay, this is what I want you to do, "said the doctor. Go to the the bow of the ship. Take off your shirt and Lean into the freezing mist for thirty minutes.
I'll do it sir but aren't you afraid I'll catch Pneumonia? "Maybe, "said the Doctor, "but at least I know how to cure that!"
Pun Fishing
Two fishermen were out on the lake when one of them dropped his wallet.
As they watched the wallet float down to the depths of the lake, a carp came along and snatched up the wallet.
Soon came another carp who stole it away and then a third joined in. Remarked one of the fisherman, "That's the first time I've ever seen carp-to-carp walleting."
AVYC would like to apologize for this joke.
Let's Play Pretend!
The navy psychiatrist was interviewing a potential recruit. To determine the young man's response to looming trouble, the psychiatrist asked, " Imagine looking out the window right now and seeing an enemy battleship coming down the street. What would you do?"
The recruit scoffed, " It's a city street! No ship could make it anywhere near here!
"Come on, use your imagination!" snapped the psychiatrist.
"Okay", said the recruit, "I guess I would sink it with a torpedo.
"And just where would you get the torpedo?", asked the frustrated psychiatrist.
"I imagine I would get it from the same place we got the battleship."
Building a Solid Base!
A sailor, ran aground on a sandbar. A passing fisherman offered to tow the sailor's boat off the bar for fifty dollars and the sailor agreed.
After he was off the bar, the sailor joked that at at $50 a pop the fisherman could make a nice living pulling people off the sandbar day and night.”“
"Can't at night,” replied the fisherman. “At night I haul sand.”
I Met My Match !
After the boat was pulled into the dock, a stunningly beautiful woman disembarked with a parrot on her shoulder.
“Where did you get that?” asked one of the dock hands.
“Met her online,” replied the parrot.

Sinking
Tag Line
Late one foggy night two boaters collide head-on while trying to navigate a narrow inlet channel. Both their boats were damaged, disabled and slowly sinking.
As they each watched their boats slowly slip away beneath them, the first boater said " You know, this is a sign that we should never take life for granted and that we should live it to the fullest".
"You are right," said the other boater as he opened a cooler and pulled out a bottle of bourbon whisky. Let's drink to living well for the rest of our lives.
The first boater took the bottle and, after a big swig, handed it back to the other boater who in turn quickly threw it into the river.
More than a little surprised the first boater exclaimed " You didn't take a drink!?"
"Naw", said the other boater "I think I'll just wait for the Coast Guard to show up."

You're Not Alone Sailor
"Why such long face John?" asked the other seaman.
"I don't know," said John "maybe It's just that we have been at sea for so long and I'm so depressed I cant seem to do anything right. Most of the time I feel so alone and useless!"
Smiling and nodding in an understanding way, the other seaman said, "John, I don't know if this helps but let me assure you; you are not alone. Most of us on the ship feel you're useless too."

You Nautical Romantic You!
“Dear Heart, I had a great dream last night about you.”
“Oh? What was I doing?” She asked with a little giggle.
”You were buying me a new boat.”
“How Nice.” Was her cool response, “ Tonight, why don’t you dream up a way to pay for your new boat?
But Things Have Changed Lord!
God, deciding that the Earth had become too wicked again, sent down Noah to build another ark and to again save two of every living thing. “You have six months before I send the great flood.” God said.
Six months later, God called in the thunder and lightning and the rain came. He looked down and found Noah very distraught and with not one plank on the boat’s hull.
“Noah, I have started the storm, why is the boat not finished?”
“There have been some construction delays Lord. First I was told I needed a building permit. Then a group called PETA protested saying that it was inhumane to put all the animals in such a small place. Then I was told that because I lived in a flood plain I could not build the ark there. I told them that building it in a flood plain was exactly the point but that did not impress them. My new location was fine but the EPA had to first do an environmental impact study that held up construction until just yesterday!”
Suddenly the clouds cleared up and a beautiful rainbow crossed the celestial horizon.
.
“I’m calling you back.” God said.
“aren't you going to destroy the world Lord?" Noah asked.
“What’s the point?” God said. “It looks like someone beat me to it!”
Nautical Dress Code
A boater brings his boat up to a restaurant
dock to eat dinner. The dockhand says,
"I'm sorry, sir, but I can't let you dine here
tonight. This establishment has a necktie policy
for the evening meal and you are not wearing one."
The boater said, "I'm sure I don't have a tie
on my boat!"
The dockhand, not wanting to turn away a
customer, said, "Well, why don't you just
find something that approximates a tie. I'm
sure that will be okay."
After some time, the boater emerged from
his cabin sporting a pair of jumper cables. "Sorry", the boater said," but this is all I
could find to put around my neck."
Sighing, the dockhand said "okay, I'll let
you in with those, but just don't start
anything."
Nautical Lingo 1
An ensign on sea duty for the first time overheard
a recruit say he was going downstairs. “Listen, sailor," he snarled, "Downstairs is below, that side is
starboard, that's aft and that's portside. If I ever hear
you say one more civilian word like "downstairs" again I'll throw you
through that little round window over there!"
Nautical Lingo 2
The Steamboat Captain brought his son along on a short
cruise upriver to show him what he does for a living. All
the kid wanted to do was steer the boat. Insisting that his
father taught him enough to handle the job he asked the
pilot to let him take the helm.
"Okay", said the pilot , "but you must pass a small
test first.
If I asked you to turn to the left, what nautical term should
I use?" "Turn to Port", said the boy. "Correct", said the pilot.
"If I wanted you to turn the boat to the right, what direction
would that be?" "Starboard", said boy grinning from ear to ear.
"Good for you", said the pilot.
"And straight?" asked the pilot. The boy quickly replied,
" Without ice."
Pass The....
First sailor: "Pass me the chocolate
pudding, would you?"
Second sailor: "No way, Jose!"
First sailor: "Why not?"
Second sailor: "It's against regulations

Two Step and a Missed Step
Two elderly fishermen, John and Paul, were
out on the lake bright and early one morning.
They sat silently as they fished. Each kept
very still so as not to frighten off any fish.
After six hours, John shifted his feet. Paul
said, "What is it with you? Did you come out
here to fish or dance?"

Whatever You Say Sir!
It was a dark, stormy, night. The Sailor was on his first
assignment, and it was guard duty. The Captain stepped out taking his dog for a
walk. The nervous young Seaman snapped to attention, made a perfect salute, and
shouted out ," Good Evening, Sir!"
The Captain returned the salute and said "Good evening Seaman, nice night,
isn't it?" Well it wasn't a nice night, but the Sailor wasn't going to disagree
with the Captain, so the he saluted again and replied "Yes Sir!".
The
Captain continued, "You know there's something about a stormy night that I find
soothing, it's really relaxing. Don't you agree?" The Seaman didn't agree, but
then the seaman was just a seaman, and responded " Yes Sir!"
Then the
Captain, pointing at the dog and said, "This is a Golden Retriever, the best type
of dog to train." The Seaman glanced at the dog and said "
Yes Sir!" The Captain continued "I got this dog for my wife." The Seaman simply
said, "Good trade Sir!"
Trained and Too
Ready
It was my first week as
a junior ship's engineer. I've been told that if the alarm rings, we should
rush towards the muster station to escape immediately.
One day I was
sleeping after a full day of work. Suddenly I heard the alarm and immediately
realized I needed to escape. I quickly put on my life jacket and started running
in a panic. On the next deck, I saw the cadet walking casually . He asked me
why I was running.
I told him that the ship is in danger and I want to
escape. He said, "Oh! You want to escape?" " Why are trying to jump off the
boat? You can "escape" using the gangway." (I forgot the ship was berthed....
the alarm was just being tested).

Huts
Galore
A sailor was
marooned on a deserted island for 20 years.
He was finally rescued by
a merchant marine ship. As the sailor was packing his meager belongings the
captain of the ship asked, "I noticed you have built four huts. You are the
only person on the island. What are they for?"
"Well", said the sailor,
"this one is my residence, the second is my church and that third is my
micro brewery where I make coconut beer."
"That's very interesting",
said the captain, " but, what about the fourth hut?" Oh", said the sailor,
"That's the church I belonged to before I started drinking Coconut Beer."
A Boat, a Lady and One Dead
Bird
A lady on a cruise
bought a parrot on an island stop and took it back to the ship. After two days
at sea the lady found her new friend laying on its back - feet pointed straight
up.
She hailed the ship's doctor, "Please help my friend," wailed the
lady. "I'm sorry the bird is quite dead" said the doc. "No, no..it can't be",
cried the lady.
The doctor called in his own pet, a Labrador
retriever, which sniffed the bird, shook his head and walked out.
Next, the doctor called in his cat which carefully walked a circle around
the bird and walked out.
"No doubt about it ", said the doctor, "That
is a dead bird."
The doctor reached for his pen and pad. He wrote out
a bill and handed it to the lady. "Eight Hundred dollars!?" cried the lady.
"That's Correct! I'm charging you for three procedures. There is my opinion,
a lab report and a cat scan."

Years ago, in
Reader's Digest, was an article about the old diesel submarines. As the story goes,
the boat was headed out to sea from Pearl Harbor when the Captain yells to a
green seaman on the bow to "house the anchor". The seaman understood the
captain was saying "How is the anchor?" So the seaman responded, "The anchor is
fine."
After several attempts to get the seaman to understand, the
frustrated Captain said, "Oh hell let it go!" At which time the seaman knocks
the chock out of the anchor chain. The anchor and 600 fathoms of chain roars
out of the boat and when it reaches the end, takes out the bulkhead.
Thanks

A young Naval officer was
in a serious car accident, but the only visible permanent injury was to both of
his ears, which were amputated. Since he wasn't physically impaired he remained
in the Navy and eventually rose to the rank of Admiral. He was, however, very
sensitive about his appearance.
One day the new Admiral was
interviewing three people for the position of his personal aide. The first
officer was an accomplished submariner, and it was a great interview. At the
end the Admiral asked him, "Do you notice anything different about me?" The
young officer answered, "Why yes, sir. I couldn't help but notice that you have
no ears." The Admiral got very angry at this lack of tact and threw him out.
The second interview was with a female Squadron Supply Officer, and she
was even better than the first officer, and with a better file. The Admiral
asked her the same question, "Do you notice anything different about me?" She
replied, "Well, sir, you have no ears." The Admiral threw her out also.
The third interview was with a Navy Chief Petty Officer. He was
articulate, looked extremely sharp and seemed to know more than the other two
officers combined. The Admiral wanted this guy, and went ahead with the same
question, "Do you notice anything different about me?" To his surprise the
Chief said, "Yes sir; you wear contact lenses." The Admiral was very impressed
and thought, what an incredibly observant Chief Petty Officer, and he didn't
mention my ears. "And how do you know that I wear contacts?" the Admiral asked.
The sharp-witted Chief replied, "Well, sir, it's pretty hard to wear glasses
with no ears!"

Sherlock Holmes
and Matthew Watson were on a fishing trip. They had gone night fishing and were
lying on the deck, lines in the water looking up at the sky. Holmes said,
"Watson, look up. What do you see? "Well, I see thousands of stars." "And what

Age is a State Of Mind...I
Think!
The captain of the
whaler found himself in need of a lookout on short notice. The ship was
scheduled to return to the hunt the next day and the owner of the whaler was
very demanding and unpleasant when disappointed.
The captain put out the
word that a sharp-eyed lookout was needed and any candidates should report to
the ship that evening at 1700 hours sharp.
At the appointed time the
captain arrived on deck finding only one candidate onboard; a very old looking
man. "How old are you?", asked the captain.
" I'm eighty years old last
November and I have the sharpest eyes in town." said the old man. "Is that
so?", laughed the captain. Knowing he could not read it himself, he said, "Tell
me old man what does that sign say on the dock across the bay?"
The old
man said, " No fishing by order of the constable." The captain was shocked when
he verified it using his telescope. That was exactly what the sign
read!
"Well, that's all well and good", said the captain, "but you'll
never be able to get to the crow's-nest being a man of advanced years. "With
that the old man took off and traversed up the mast, slapped the crow's-nest
and returned to the deck in front of a totally shocked captain. "You're hired!"
yelled the captain, "I have never been so impressed with a seaman than I am with you on
this day. Report for duty, ready to ship out at dawn."
The next morning
after the old man had reported for duty, the ship's helmsman and harpooner
visited the captain's cabin and expressed concern about the captain's new hire.
"He's an old man", said the harpooner, "he'll never see the whales and I'll not
know where to aim!" "Yes", said the helmsman, "and he must be too feeble to
climb the mast to give me a heading to steer!" "Fear not", said the captain, "
That old man is one of the best candidates for lookout I have ever seen. He'll
do just fine."
The whaler was out on the very next day and ready for
action when the shout came from the crow's-nest, "Whaaaaale Ho!". Excitedly the
captain yelled, " Great job lookout, in what direction does the whale swim?"
There was no answer. Again the captain yelled, " what direction should the
helmsman steer?" After a pause the answer came back,..... " I
forget."

One morning John
noticed something floating towards the deserted island that had become his home
since the ship sank six months ago.
As the object came closer, he
realized that it was a large barrel. He very soon thereafter realized that
hanging on to the barrel was a very scantily clad woman. In fact she was the
most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
Arriving on shore the woman
left the barrel and slowly and suggestively walked towards John. She whispered
into John's ear, " I have something you want!"
John broke into a dead
run towards to breaking waves yelling, "Don't tell me you've got beer in that
barrel!"
Grab Those
Puppies!
The woman quickly
realized that the large wave had unceremoniously dispatched the top part of her
bikini into the deep.
More than a little embarrassed, she clasped her arms
across her chest and made a dash for her car. She could sense everyone gawking
at her along the way.
Upon entering the parking lot a little boy, who
was following his mother to the beach asked, pointing to her arms, "Are you carrying puppies in
there?",
Not wanting to explain what had really
happened, the woman replied, " Why yes, yes they are. She quickly moved on but
heard the boy shout after her, "If you're giving them away I'll take the one
with the pink nose!"

While they are
heading for the man's house, the bum's curiosity gets the better of him. "Isn't
your wife going to be angry when she sees a guy like me at your table?"
"Probably," says the man, "but it will be worth it. I want her to see what
