<HTML> Ken,
The bit about crabs is certainly right!
I recall doing a US East Coast tour aboard a frigate in the late 70\'s. In Fort Lauderdale, one of the seamen picked up a beautiful young lady in a bar which was frequented by us as a crew. Despite warnings from the bar man that the young lady was not quite A1, this sailor decided to do the deed...
...he contracted a hefty dose of crabs for his trouble which he denied he had for a week before someone frog-marched him to the SBA. Meantime he had infected ten other mess mates simply by using the heads without telling anyone. The next man on the thunderbox inherited the result and so on...I was thankful I wasn\'t in that mess!
The upshot was the entire mess had to be shaved - number 1 all over including pubes - given a noxious purple lotion to apply to their gonads and had to have the Chinese laundryman boil their kit complete! Bit of a mess all round!
For the rest of us, it was hilarious to watch! One joke that came through it was the Duty QM asking this man - who was by now on a charge - whether it was worth it? The sailor replied that yes, it was. The QM then asked him how much it had cost, to which the man had replied ten dollars.
\'Jesus! \' The QM retorted. \'No wonder you got crabs\'
\'What did you expect me to get for five dollars? \' replied the morose seaman. \'Scampi?\'
Point is, anything within the confines of a messdeck spreads. In a U-boat though...wow! It\'d go through the whole boat like a bush fire!
Aye,
John
