Going through the Panama Canal -- down in the injun room taking soundings of the deep tanks filled with HFO --- Mercator gqauges located on the bulkhead about 3 feet away from the boilers --- 135 degress Fahrenheit there -- bugger if they didn't take the correct reading the first time. Pump it up all over again. Came out of there looking like you'd been in the shower for 15 minutes.

Don't even ask me about the whirly hammer!!!!!
