Old Sea Story Parable
There's an old sea story about
a ship's Captain who inspected his sailors,
and afterward told the first mate
that his men smelled bad.
The Captain suggested perhaps it would
help if the sailors would change
underwear occasionally.
The first mate responded,
"Aye, aye sir, I'll see to it immediately!"
The first mate went straight
to the sailors berth deck and announced,
"The Captain thinks you
guys smell bad and wants you to change
your underwear."
He continued, " Leo you change with
Jerry. Tony you change with
Bert and Bob you change with Ed."
THE MORAL OF THE STORY:
Someone may come along and
promise "Change," but don't
count on things smelling
any better.
