The Bo’sun Laughed Last
As the bo’sun came ashore, the Customs man queried, "What’s in that bag?”
“Only Moggy, ship’s cat, and her four kittens.”
“Open up,” said the Customs man, and laughed when he saw Moggy and her quads scoot back to the ship. “Now I’ll have to catch ’em all over again,” moaned the bo’sun. Ten minutes later the bo'sun once more went ashore with his bag ... “0.K.” grinned the Customs man. And that’s how the bo’sun smuggled six bottles of Scotch whisky j ashore. *
