Every morning the Admiral came to his office and acknowledged the presence of his standing staff.
Then, first thing, he would open the locked desk drawer and remove a ratty looking piece of paper. He would observe the paper, put it in the drawer and then lock it back.
One day the Admiral was distracted during the process and didn’t lock the drawer as he left. His underling rushed into the office and opened the drawer to see the words of wisdom the Admiral so much prized.
The paper had a hand printed note: “Port is left, Starboard is right”
LOL! Good one!
