Re: Annoyances
Same here. If it was not a joke and everybody started picking on your literacy and spelling skills it would have been a free for all I bet.
Coops.

Please note that he said he was lying so presumably he was doing his bit of grinding in the v-berth.

Re: Annoyances
Oh you mean like the old joke:
One night the wife told her husband
"Honey, I don't want the kids to get curious about sex, so from now on when you want to have sex, just ask me "Can I use your washing machine?"
He grumbled but agreed.
A couple of nights later the wife was feeling a little randy and asked:
"Honey do you want to use my washing machine?"
He replied: "No, it was a small load so I did it by hand"

Re: Annoyances
Look, if grinding the wench is bothering you, just load up with pre-ground wench at your nearby store. Not quite as fresh, but very quiet for those sleeping below decks.

Ditto.
My first thought was "I don't remember this guy being such a dumbass."
There is another poster who has the comment, "I don't spellcheck." in his signature. Is that another joke I can't fathom? Why wouldn't ya? Seems more like an "**" than anything else. (Note joke-like mispelling of abbreviation.)

Re: Annoyances
Perhaps a bit of lubrication would help the crew grind the wenches with a little less groaning?

Depends on why they are groaning (or perhaps moaning?)
