A Jolly Boat

We see a large white cruise ship in port, at the base of the gangway there is a sign saying 'Recruiting' and we see a line of hopefuls all in uniform.

Inside the ship

Three men in sailor uniforms are standing to rigid attention outside the Captains cabin.

A lieutenant addresses them in a no nonsense tone.
"Right you three straight, in hats off, give your name and the position you're applying for, then remain at attention, do not speak unless spoken to!"

Lieutenant knocks on door

Captain
"Come"

The three troop in

1st
"Ferkin, Barsteward

2nd
Shirley, The Purser

3rd
Tits, Cox mate

The Captain looks up in dismay as he speaks;
"Lieutenant Rhubarb don't you think we've got enough on our plates,get these idiots off my ship!"

Lieutenant
"Aye aye Captain Custard!"

Very broad but amusing :D

It was an attempt at silly, not the best but a start.

I liked it...

I didn't get why Ferkin and Shirly were specific to the jobs? or am I being dim? I got why the tits one would go with cox ;) . Still liked it though.

It needed a Seaman Stains...

Red I was already on thin ice with Captain Pugwash!

Or a Deliah Scrubber..

Maybe you could spin it round. They get chastised for not having dirty names or something? Or some kind of Pugwash piss-take.
