Stan Baker of St. Hubert, Que., tells us:
“The corvette I was on had two officers arguing about which had the more important job on the ship, the engineer or 1st lieutenant. The captain told the engineer to go to the bridge and the 1st lieutenant to the engine room. Fifteen minutes later the 1st lieutenant phoned the bridge:
“’I can’t get these engines to go.’
“’Never mind, we’re on the rocks,’ the engineer replied.”
