Anchors Aweigh

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?

- Throw out an anchor, sir - the student replied.

- What would you do if another storm sprang up aft?

- Throw out another anchor, sir.

- And if another terrific storm sprang up forward, what would you do then? - asked the captain.

- Throw out another anchor, sir.

- Hold on - said the captain.

- Where are you getting all those anchors from?

- From the same place you're getting your storms, sir.
