I've told you before Willie, keep your mouth closed and people may
think that you are stupid; open it and they'll know it.

Shortly after coming aboard my can when I joined the Navy, I wanted to
take a look at the chain locker.
Asked a Boatswain Mate something like, "Where's the hatch to get below
the forecastle?"
He didn't understand me and asked me to repeat.
I did. He sill had to think about it, then he laughed and said.
"You mean foc'sle," and gave me directions.
And of course boatswain is bosun.
Holy Worcestershire!
