These are some more things that me and my sailor friends have said over the years.
"You got the kind of legs I like. Feet on one end, pussy on the other."
"Woman, rum, and song; a sailor's cocktail." VA
"Wind, salt, and stars; a sailor's cocktail." VA
"Drinking, fighting, and whoring; a sailor's cocktail." VA
"She was all giggles, and I was all laughs, but I had a ship to catch. I bought one last round for me and the whore, but I had a ship to catch. Then blank!" This was a sobering wake up call for me in Singapore. I was hanging out with a ship mate and a couple of Filipino whores. Drinking cocktails, laughing, and the next thing I remember is waking up 10 hours later on board my ship. I slept right through my watch. Some one had slipped me a micky. I think. What is the lesson I learned? Don't hang out with Filipino whores? No! The lesson I learned is don't drink from open container's in shady foreign ports.
"I'm mulatto on the light side." I once sailed with a black Chief Steward named Howard. We got along great and when I told him I was Cuban he told me that I must have some black blood in me. That's when I told him that I was mulatto on the light side. Those of you who know how fair complected I am are laughing right now.
"Boys go away to sea. Men run away to it." VA
