NEWS

EV'BODY
Due to the firing last Wednesday,
there wasn't much time for nosill'
around, but a little news came in
from here and . there and we find that
Pearce the Cox. made the statemem
that you weren't supposed to hit
the target, just come close to it. It
has been learned from authentic
sources that " Boats" Shanahan and
" Pockets" Highstreet have joined the
Jewish navy. Mahatma Ghandi has
a real contender for honors in none
other than a certain trumpet player
in the band, and did you ever notice
the facial contortions wlien he toots
a high " C"? Rebel Kayse came hOffle
an easy winner from Fish Point one
evening and from the big hand he
was given by the crew things wer~ Oh,
well, ask Rebel ???? Slusarsky,
BMlc., says, " from now on when the
basketball team goes to Fish Point
to work out, I will be there too." Oh
yeah. The World Series broad.: ast
might be sewed up on the beach by
none other than Henry Ford, but
our own Herbie has done well by all
hands in bringing the series to us,
and did you notice the rabid fans
daily. If you even think you kpow
baseball- just mention it to Weigand.
Some one in the aviation gang was
overheard saying that gas & pilled on
deck was good for the oil Sp'lts,
maybe so, but he evidently was not
arOund the two mornings the l'olystones
were going to eliminate £ aid
gas spots. Terrio, the new CEM, looks
fine in the new Hackie outfit, but
there is a difference in the uniform,;,
how about it, Chiefie? Oscar Hand
is now in serious training, that 1<;
gaining one to two pounds per diem;
reason, he has suddenly discoverJ
that the gals like him pleasingly
plump. Just ask him. Steve Sivak
THE BLUE BONNET
has boasted of his immunity to women,
but that Leopard woman in
Houston seems to have changed hh"
good intentions. Hank Kennedy started
off as boatswains locker keeper by
breaking out a coil of 3%" line full
of *? ?:)? and was he red? McGovern
says, " first I have boils in
Houston and then it is the ceremonial
gangway in Guantanamo, what
next? It seems that one of the Sharp
yeoman from the flag office, having
been partaking quite freely of the
good old amber fluid, hired one of
Cuba's alleged horses to take in the
sites of Guantanamo City. Aftt;(
stopping at the divers places to further
refresh himself, he was suddenly
stricken with overwhelming pity
for the poor horse and proceeded
forthwith to ride said hayburner right
into one of the city's better known
cheer dispensaries. Having dismounted,
he demanded in no uncertain tone
that the faithful animal be allo\" ed
his just dues. This didn't go over so
big with the inmates of the shanty
and the sea- going Buffalo Bill was
forced to take his plug and withdraw
in defeat. He was also defeated in
his attentions to the nag in another
den of iniquity, but we won't go into
that. If we don't get the Engineering
" E" we surely should get one on
that scuttle- butt, forward. Some ~ y
says, " I wish they wouldn't make the
drinking water so cold, it gives me
an ache in me false teeth." Hmm, I
wonder. It was rumored that a certain
Wardroom steward was ashore
in some town, some place and was
referred to as a certain kind of a
spud, whats the dope? A certain
dashing ship's service operator was
arrested lately and the following conversation
took place at the M A A
shack:
CMAA: " How do you plead?"
SSO: " I plead guilty and waives
the hearing."
CMAA: " What do you mean,
' waive' the hearing?' "
SSO: " I mean I don't want ', 0
hear no more about it."
And so with this last comment, I will
close, " Our girl friend calls her doggie
" Broker"- because he's so active
on the curb.

Every man thinks he has wonderful
self control because the woman had
the last word.

HACKIES COMMENTS
They tell me that Hackies Comments
have missed the last two issues
of the BLUE BONNET. My, how time
flies. Won't, be long before we'll be
seeing Long Beach bre~ kwater again
and what a welcome sight it'll bel
To really appreciate California is to
be away from it for a time and compare
it to other climes.
Two of our shipmates left last
week for parts unknown: Richards
and Kall. Smith, CWT., also left on
an extended furlough into the wilds
of Wisconsin.
" Ducky" Richards had quite 1\ reputation
as a bridge player. ' J'o quote
Shannahan, he ranked among the
rankest.
Bill Rader relinquished his job as
mess caterer to Doc Kreuger after a
year or more of devoted service to
the mess. The only fault I find with
Doc's catering is that he makes the
most terrible coffee. Instead of saying
" Pass the coffee" you now !' ay
" Pass up the hot water." No offense
Doc.
Oct 0 bel' T wei f t h, i s C 0lumbus
Day, and all ships having
chaplains · on board ' viII have had their
chaplains deliver an address on the
subject of Columbus. If the First Sergeant
Luck were to speak on the subject,
he would probably tell us that
Columbus used to be a marine.
I asked Diggens if he had anything
to say for the column and he declined
by saying that he lives in a glal! S
house and must'nt throw stones. Well.
that's something worth thinkin~ about,
and speaking of mottoes, how's
this one:
" We seldom get something for
nothing and how long must we live
before we discover we are getting
no more than we are willing to giv~."
How many times have you heard:
Luck -' Any mail for the devil do~ s?
O'Neal- That Dutchman.
Beary - When's pay- day?
Rader - Son- of- a- bugger.
Walsh - Yowsa.
Michell's peculiar laugh.
THAT'S ALL.

Captain ( To guilty party at mast):
Now in the future you must go.

means?
A. O. L.: Yes, Sir. Without ginger
ale, sir. |
