Traffic..

The Commodore usually starts off the lesson with a joke; today was no exception.

The Commodore
- "Did any of you chaps get stuck in traffic this morning?"

Us
- "No, not really"

The Commodore
- "Well, on the way in this morning I got stuck in a really bad patch of traffic. There was a policeman wandering up and down the line of traffic, so I stopped him and asked him through the window what the hold up was."

Policeman
- "A man at the front of the traffic has stopped his car in the road. He is really bad shape, his wife has just left him, he has nothing left and is really poor. He isthreatening to set himself on fire; we are doing a collection for him."

The Commodore
- "So I asked, 'How much have you got so far?'"

Policeman
- "5 litres..!"

The Commodore is a very straight laced old Ex-RN engineer, with a really conservative sense of humour. His jokes usually only receive feigned laughter out of politeness.

And so ends another week of classes..
