#Laughs A destroyer pulled into a foreign port, and
put down maximum
liberty.

The skeleton crew didn't notice a
chimpanzee, escaped from a
nearby civilian transport, crawled up the ropes
and up to the
smokestack.

Down the stack, it made its way into the
engine room.

It came across
a power panel opened up for
maintenance, couldn't read the warning
signs, and with a bright blue blast
shorted out the ship's electrical
system, and plunged the ship into
darkness.

A little bit later, two junior Hull Technicians
wander down with their
flashlights, looking for the problem.

They come
upon the blackened body
of the chimp.

They shine their flashlights
on its long, burnt arms.

They look at each other.

They highlight its
short legs and odd feet.

They
look at each other.

Finally one says,
"Well, it's too hairy to be an
Electrician, the legs are too short
for a Hull Tech, and there would be
more tatoos on a Bo'su
n.

Call the wardroom, see if one of the duty
officers is
missing."
