A young naval student was being tested by an old sea captain. "What
would you do if a sudden storm sprang up you ship?" "Throw out an
anchor, sir." "What would you do if another storm sprang up?" "Throw
out another anchor, sir." "And if another terrific storm sprang up
forward, what would you do?" "Throw out another anchor."
"Hold on," said the Captain, "where are you getting all your anchors
from?" "From the same place you're getting all your storms, sir."
