For me (and i realise that poss nobody will find this funny but i did)

As a trainee engineer on my first ship in the RN, i sat down for lunch one day and this old sea dog at the table next to me suddenly shouted out

'shitty death, some bilge rat has scuppered my port and starboard scran spanners'

i almost wet myself

A colleague once said to me.... "the order in which you do things is vital, you can blow your nose and wipe your a*se with the same tissue but by God you better hope you do it in the right order"... quite.
