Naval Student's Anchors
A young naval student was being put through the paces by an old sea captain.
"What would you do if a sudden storm sprang up on the starboard?" asked the captain.
"Throw out an anchor, sir," the student replied.
"What would you do if another storm sprang up aft?"
"Throw out another anchor, sir," the student replied.
"And if another terrific storm sprang up forward, what would you do then?" asked the captain.
"Throw out another anchor, sir," the student replied.
"Hold on," said the captain. "Where are you getting all those anchors from?"
"From the same place you're getting your storms, sir."
