A young naval student was being put through the paces
by an old sea captain.

"What would you do if a sudden storm sprang up on the
starboard?"

"Throw out an anchor, sir," the student replied.

"What would you do if another storm sprang up aft?"

"Throw out another anchor, sir."

"And if another terrific storm sprang up forward, what
would you do then?" asked the captain.

"Throw out another anchor, sir."

"Hold on," said the captain. "Where are you getting all
those anchors from?"

"From the same place you're getting your storms, sir."
