OT-A former sailor's perspective...

We sailors have always been a little superstitious about ships. Usually the name, but it could be anything from the day of departure to the day of arrival, the captains previous experience to the ships mascot.

I just want to know one thing: "Why do they always serve SOS, **** on a shingle, the first day out"?
