And the punishment for threatening mutiny at sea is WHAT??

I do believe that brings the dreaded "First Bath" Captain!

The crew will assemble above deck to witness administration at 1600 hours PST.

The water temperature will be its warmest then.

[Pippin]

I said nothing about mutiny, LadyX, I only said I will go to the President!

[humblegunner]

Aye, the Captain cracks down where the Captain sees fit.
Glad it weren't me this time!

May I intercede on behalf of First Mate Pippin?

As it is her assigned duty to both whine, as well as clean the bilge, may I suggest that she is guilty only of discharging said duty in a manner that might be deemed, shall we say, overzealous?

I mean, when you ask a Warrior Hobbit to whine, then she's gonna WHINE till the cows come home.

Should the Captain not find my argument persuasive, then I request his permission to stand in her stead so that, chastened though she be, no physical harm may come about through keel hauling.

That water looks awful cold, and those aren't dolphins I see riding the bow wave.

Mercy, I plead, for the Sailor from the Shire.
