Title of "Captain"

I've always considered the use of the term to be rather pretentious,
excepting, of course the captain of anything over 100 feet and the only
time I use the title is when signing paperwork when clearing into or out
of a port.
Actually on my license it says "Master", not captain.....One's ego gets a
great boost when they call you "Master".
I used to date this strange woman who got all excited calling me "Master",
especially in public. That usually lead to some great nights with little
sleep...(c;
Next time someone calls you "captain", show them the license and say, "I
prefer 'Master.'" Watch the look on their faces....hee hee.
"Yes, Master!" Has such a nice ring to it...even if she doesn't really
mean it...(c;
