A sailor brings his boat up to a restaurant dock to eat lunch.
The dock hand says, βIβm sorry, sir, but I canβt let you dine here today.
This establishment has a necktie policy, and you are not wearing one.β
βOf course I donβt have a tie on,β replied the sailor, βIβm on a boat!β
βWell, go down below and put one on,β said the dock hand.
βI donβt HAVE one!β shouted the sailor.
The dock hand, not wanting to turn away a customer, said: βWell, why donβt you just find something that approximates a tie
That should be OK.β
After some time, the sailor comes out with a pair of jumper cables.
βThis is all I could find to put around my neck,β he said.
Sighing, the dock hand said: βOK, Iβll let you in with those, but just donβt start anything.β
