Marc-e -Marc ... tell us a funny story!
Ever since we had that wild weekend of sex in Las Vegas you think I gotta post all the time!! 
Funny eh.... hmmm... guess a pic of me with my shirt off would qualify but hey, a guy can only stand so much humility.....
We were backing the 82' long Coast Guard Cutter into our slip in a yacht basin in Southern California one beautiful summer day.... just returning from a law enforcement patrol, and only the "watch" was awake... me, my engineer and 2 deck hands...
As I was maneuvering the boat into the slip, a large crowd, alerted by the rumbling diesel engines, had gathered to watch the pretty white hulled vessel with the orange and blue stripe enter the harbor....
One of the off-watch crewman, awakened by the maneuvering and throttle changes decided he had to take a leak.... and as the condition of the head (bathroom eh) was usually pretty bad after being at sea awhile he decided to pee over the rail.... so he wandered up on deck wearing only billowing government issue boxer shorts and started watering the dolphins as we say...
Needless to say, the mothers and fathers with their children, tourists, shoppers and other boat owners were not happy about this display.... I saw him after he had started tinkling and bellowed at him in my best sea voice "MILTON YOU DUMBASS GETTHEF#$*BACKINSIDE!!!"
He turned and painted the vast majority of the (once) pretty white boat a lovely speckled yellow...
..... and thus ends another day in the Coast Guard .... your tax dollars hard at work
