'It's firm leadership that does it,' suggested Captain Bill.

But at that moment the lieutenant nudged the Admiral and handed him a 2nd piece of paper.


'Ah yes!' said the Admiral,'almost forgot! The theory test!'


'Theory test?' asked Captain Bill.


'Just one question,' replied the Admiral,'really just a formality, nobody ever gets it wrong. So, the left hand side of the ship, is that the Port side...or the Starboard side?'





'Errrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmm?' said Captain Bill.
