The Navy Chief

The Navy Chief .....

The Navy Chief noticed a new seaman and barked at him, "Get over here! What's your name sailor?"

"John," the new seaman replied.

"Look, I don't know what kind of bleeding-heart pansy crap they're teaching sailors in boot camp nowadays, but I don't call anyone by his first name," the chief scowled. "It breeds familiarity, and that leads to a breakdown in authority. I refer to my sailors by their last names only; Smith, Jones, Baker, whatever. And you are to refer to me as 'Chief'. Do I make myself clear?"

"Aye, Aye Chief!"

"Now that we've got that straight, what's your last name?"

The seaman sighed. "Darling, My name is John Darling, Chief."

"Okay, John, here's what I want you to do ....."

Good now August? Sometimes copy and paste messes with colors. Also, what color you have the forum set up on. I use the brown background. Smartdark. If you are not aware you can change the color of the forums. In the lower left hand corner there is a drop down list of colors to select.

Yeah they're called Forum Skins and it's in in your options section of the user CP. I use "Hazlazblue" because the Smartdark was just too depressing.

Red seems to work pretty well though.

The blue is to bright for me. Certainly a case of to each their own!
