why does the navy blow sands before entering port? -- so we can shit on the coast guard.....................a coast guard mother told her son she was proud of him and told him that she regreated that he never met his father but that he was a sailor too... "really mom, what was his name?" he asked, "I'm not sure" her in response, "what mom, you don't know who you slept with?" "of course I do baby like every good coast guard mother, I slept with the navy's pacific fleet".................. old sailors say " it is better to know your father was in the navy and not know his name, than know your father's name and know he was in the coast gaurd
