Roger Waitout has been serving on every one of HM's War Canoes since time began.
Couldn't resist it once when bugling up HMS Indecipherable, Inexcusable, Inexplicable or whatever it was called....."Ahhh, Roger, Waitout" came the not entirely unexpected response
"Hello, Roger, mate. Long time no speak. How's the wife and kids?"
One pissed off matelot didn't find it very funny!
