    Haven't had an accident in years. See a lot in my rear view mirror though.

    It's very unlucky to be superstitious.

    Captain: Sorry No 1, no zip in these jim jams. Can radar give us an idea what it is?

    Jimmy the 1: Bridge to Radar, can you get an ID?

    Radar: Trying sir

    Jimmy the 1: You might as well finish my Kye since you been dangling in it.

    Captain: Thanks number one. I say, the helmsman seems a bit white faced, is he ok?

    Jimmy the 1: I think it's the first time he's seen the CO in pink jammies with fluffy rabbit ears, sir.

    Radar to Bridge: Got a good fix on the item now but still not sure what it is, permission to wake the duty Int Officer in War Office, and get the duty analyst out, sir?

    Captain: Belay that, Radar. Give me a course to intercept. Number 1 lay a course to intercept whatever it is.

    Captain: Full steam ahead Number 1.

    Chief engineer: Ah cannae gie ye any morr speed Capn, the shields are failing and we are close to warp speed as it is.

    Spok: Dielithium crystals at maximum temperature, captain.

    Jimmy the 1: Err who are these people sir? (indicates Scotty and Spok)

    Jimmy the 1: Er, aye aye sir, but ...

    Captain: But me no buts Number 1. Whats our speed?

    Jimmy the 1: Er, we are static sir.

    Captain: Static? STATIC? I asked for full speed ahead, Number 1.

    How low the Navy has sunk.







    In the good old days they'd have nicked his wallet and shagged his wife and daughters whilst he was unconcious.
