HAPPY WORKERS -

One day a group of waterside workers seemed unusually happy as they went about their work.

The ship's Chief Officer went to their supervisor and reported that the ship was carrying large casks of wine and he didn't know how, but he was sure the workers were getting in to the casks and helping themselves.

The supervisor went down to where the casks were stored to find out what was going on and found that his men had bored small holes and inserted a tap so that during smoko and lunch break they could add a little something to their break.

Needless to say they were read the 'riot act' and things went back to their usual routine.

From the book 'Full Steam Ahead' by John Willinge
