On a Roman warship long ago, a galley boss stood at the helm one morning and shouted to the assembled rowers, “Today I have good news! All of you are getting extra food tonight!”
The rowers erupted into cheers almost immediately.
All except for one very old man seated in the back, who began moaning in horror. “Oh God, no, not again,” he said.
Puzzled, a newer rower next to him asked, “What are you upset about? We’re getting extra food!”
“Because,” the old man responds. “This only happens when the Captain’s nephew wants to water ski.”
