Ahoy

Generally speaking, the naval officer was not popular.

As a ship’s captain he seemed to be forever having to go before the tribunal. Most of the matters were quite trivial, but there was growing consensus that perhaps he just wasn’t the right man for the job. Despite the ever-growing number of petty charges, they always concluded with an acquittal. He regularly became frustrated with the situation, on the basis that being so often called upon to attend such things would often prevent him from sailing out to sea. It was out there, plying the wide expanse of the ocean that he really came into his own.

However, it wasn’t until he was several years into his retirement that he learnt the real reason for him being hauled up on so many minor charges.

Apparently, it came down to the fact that he was far too fond of continually calling out ‘Ahoy there!’

  1. Hi, Neat post. There’s a problem with your website in internet explorer, would test this… IE still is the market leader and a large portion of people will miss your excellent writing because of this problem.

  2. Wonderful blog! I found it while browsing on Yahoo News. Do you have any suggestions on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Thank you

  3. I do enjoy the manner in which you have presented this particular concern and it really does supply me personally some fodder for thought. Nonetheless, coming from what precisely I have seen, I only hope when the reviews stack on that folks stay on point and not get started upon a soap box of some other news of the day. All the same, thank you for this outstanding point and although I do not go along with the idea in totality, I respect the point of view.
