The Sailor and the Barrel

sailorOne day, a sailor out at sea gets very lonely, but there are no women around. Unsure what to do, he goes to seek advice from his friend.
His friend tells him “There’s a barrel with a hole in the side down in the cargo hold. Whenever we get the urge, we just go down to the hold and stick it in the barrel. Hell, even the captain’s used it a time or two.”
The sailor thinks this is a marvelous idea and it works! Several days later, he sees his friend again and tells him how much better he feels. “That trick of yours really worked! I haven’t been so clear-headed in ages!”
“That’s great!” said his friend, “because it’s your turn in the barrel.”
