Trafalgar 2005

[mart]

Nelson: Hoist the Signal, Hardy.

Hardy: Aye Aye, Sir!

Nelson: Hold on, that's NOT what I dictated to the Signal Officer!

Hardy: Sorry, Sir!

Nelson: (Reading Aloud)
'England expects every person to do their duty, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious persuasion or disability'

.....What gobbledygook is this?

Hardy: Admiralty policy, I'm afraid Sir. We're an Equal Opportunities employer now....We even had the devil's own job getting 'England' past the censors!

Nelson: Gadzooks! Hand me my pipe & tobacco!

Hardy: Sorry Sir, all Naval vessels have been designated smoke-free working environments

Nelson: In that case, break open the rum ration!

Hardy: That's abolished Sir. Part of the Governments policy on binge drinking.

Nelson: Damn my eyes, whatever happened to 'Rum, sodomy and the lash'?

Hardy: As I explained Sir, rum is off the menu, and there's a ban on corporal punishment.

Nelson: What about sodomy?

Hardy: That's legal now Sir

Nelson: In that case...Kiss me Hardy!

Yes, I believe he was ambidextrous.
