It's the Groaner of the Week!!!!!!!

It's Monday and the Kay is heading onto an overload week so I may not be around a lot but promise that I will try very hard to get posts up and visit y'all. That said, I have a really incredibly awesome groooaaannnn for y'all!!!! Enjoy!!!!!!

A sailor was caught AWOL as he tried to sneak on board his ship at about 3 am. The Chief Petty Officer spied him and ordered the sailor to stop and reamed him out for his violation.

The officer ordered the sailor, "Take this broom and sweep every link on this anchor chain by morning or it's the brig for you!"

The sailor picked up the broom and started to sweep the chain. Just then, a tern landed on the broom handle. The sailor yelled at the bird to leave, but it didn't. The lad picked the tern off the broom handle, giving the bird a toss. The bird left, only to return and light once again on the broom handle. The sailor went through the same routine all over again, with the same result. He couldn't get any cleaning done because he could only sweep at the chain once or twice before the silly bird came back.

When morning came, so did the Chief Petty Officer, to check on his wayward sailor.

"What in the hell have you been doing all night? This chain is no cleaner than when you started! What have you to say for yourself, sailor?"

The frustrated sailor mournfully replied . . .

"Honest, Chief, I tossed a tern all night and couldn't sweep a link!"


Happy Blogging!!!!!!!!!!
