Very good - last time I heard it it was a very polite Canuck in the lighthouse at seaward end of St Lawrence Seaway.

Yep, so did I. The US navy doesn't have radar or sat-nav then?  ;) ;) ;)

I have seen/heard the same thing with the Royal Navy off Ireland and Australia
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Seen it before too ... still funny.

First time I remember it, it was being told about a Weegie lighthousekeeper on Little Cumbrae and a toff admiral on HMS Victorious - which dates both me and the joke!

Silva, the Sweden-based manufacturer of marine navigational equipment, borrowed the joke for an ad in 2004.



Apparently variations of this joke have been around since the 1930s.  I knew it was old but didn't realise it was that old.
Walk wide o' the Widow at Windsor,
For 'alf o' Creation she owns:
We 'ave bought 'er the same with the sword an' the flame,
An' we've salted it down with our bones.
