The sea was flat like the surface of a ping pong table.. With satisfaction, Balz observed the tanker moving from right to left. "Ping the pong," He commanded.
"Huh?" Lt. Werner Schnitzel asked.
"Verbalize your question into words and sentences. so that I can understand your question when not speaking Japanese."
"I have said huh in German, Herr Kaleun. which means what does ping the pong mean in Japanese."
Balz pointed at the tanker. "See that ship agitating the ping pong effect of the sea?"
"Yes, Herr Kaleun."
"Well, be a good lad and sink it."
Like dirty laundry flapping in the wind an enemy shell flew overhead.
"The enemy is engaging us, Herr Kaleun." Bernard said.- Can we submerge so I can say Wasserbomben?"
"Tankers don¿t carry Wasserbomben," Balz said.
Another shell whirred overhea.
Balz sighed. "I guess it is time for me to demonstrate my fantastic ship sinking skill- Bring my chicken tea cozy on deck."
Balz descended from the conning tower and flexed his fingers.
Zeiler Zteve removed the cat tea cozy from Balz's head and replaced it with the pink chicken one.
The choir made chicken noises.
Balz sat at the gunner's station,. Blam. The gun fired. The shell hit directly on the bow gun of the tanker.
Balz stood to receive applause from the crew.
