That reminds me of going aboard a berthed ship one evening - Alarm bell ringing in the entry square. Watchman sat in a passenger lounge.
I said: "Shouldn't you be doing something about that?"
He said "S'pose so", got up walked into square, picked a brochure, folded it in half and stuffed it under the clapper.
There followed a meaningful discussion which was not humorous and therefore unsuitable for this thread.
