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