A tall ship's sailing down a narrow channel. It has
fair winds and most of its sails up.
It's in international waters. It has a black cylinder
displayed which means it's C.B.D.
A Coast Guard inflatable pulls up along side. It hails the
captain of the tall ship and tells
him he's breaking the rules because sailboats can't show
the black cylinder. The captain
smirks and says he's using the motor too. The Coast Guard
writes him a ticket because he's
in violation of another rule. What other rule did he
violate.
Was he smoking a joint at the time?
