A Chief Petty Officer

A
A Chief Petty Officer never drinks,
But if the Chief does,

If perchance the Chief does stagger however,
The Chief never the falls,
But should the Chief fall,
The Chief does so in the privacy of the Chiefs quarters

Q

How long have you been in the Coast Guard

Spoken like Popeye.

A

All me blooming life,Chief

Me mother was a mermaid
Me father was King Neptune 
I was born on the crest of a wave
And rocked in the cradle of the deep
Barnacle and kelp is me clothes 
Seaweed is me hair
Every tooth in me head is a Marlin spike
Every bone in me body is pure spar
When I spit. I spits tar
I is tough.    I is. I am. I are.

Q

Asked time of day

British accent

A

Due to the fallacious nature of my chronometer and the inability of my cerebrum to function in the manner of an August Chief Petty Officer. I am unable to ascertain the correct time to a punctilious degree. However, it is my opinion that the appropriate military time is —- hours.
