From post 45

“I wondered where that drunk captain from the Exxon Valdez went for a job?”

I heard SUNY Maritime (the maritime college in New York where the captain graduated from as a third mate) hired him back at least on a short term basis-to teach a course in collision avoidance.

Yes, and Captain Howard, Captain Fine, and Captain Howard were in command of the three vessels......

No-no !

Winkin' and Blinken' were two little eyes
And Nod was a little head
And the old shoe that carried them through
Was a wee one's trundle bed.

Please don't ask me how many years ago I read that stupid poem-or why I remember it now !
