A joke my mother told me. Captain writes ‘First Mate was drunk during watch, very disappointing.’ in his log. First Mate begs Captain to change it, fearing the damage it will do to his career. Captain says sorry, it’s true and it’s staying in the log. First mate huffs off.

Next time it’s his turn to update it, the first mate writes in the log ‘The Captain was sober while on duty today, a pleasant surprise.’
