Brevity by Dan Thompson for May 30, 2020

The deck crew has to shear it every spring before the barnacles set in.

Does it shrink?

Gotta really, really watch for wolf packs tho!

Let’s hope the captain knows how to make a ewe turn…

Perhaps EWE BOATS were built as stealth craft…you know…great for pulling the wool over the enemy’s eyes! ;D

If they stay on the surface, they’re in danger of being rammed.

This one is really stretching it.

other subs gather intel – this one gathers wool…

Doesn’t it make you itchy?

Every deep dive is called a ‘sheep dip’.

Reminds me of when the Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago had on display a captured World War II German submarine. A tourist walked up to an Italian gentleman looking at it and asked “Is that a U-Boat?” He replied, “No, thatsa notta mine, Ima just a-looking!”

Skittish very skittish!

Ewe get it!

Baaaaaad.

That’s a real sailing sheep, with a strong, lambinated hull. But the captain has to be careful to keep it free from mastitis.

VOY! Eh?

I’ve passed this one along to my fellow ex-submariners.

Just keep it out of dry-dock.

When the periscope goes up do they get the wool pulled over their eyes?

We’re ready for battle, mutton’s stoppin’ us this time.

Would high waves be considered a lamb chop?

They’re with the 5th Squadron, 3rd Fleece.

Shrinkage is leads than 20% however, it gives great warmth on the cold seas….ewe!

When Bart Simpson scammed a cruise line for an extended vacation, it became a kind of EWWW!-boat.

Sheepishly, I will admit ewe folks had great comments.

It has a special defense system, it put enemy ships to sleep.

Silence of the Lambs

Ever smelled wet sheep? In New Zealand after a rain storm, help a farmer go out and tip all his sheep back on their feet, heavy wet fleece coat tipped ‘em up on their sides and backs!

Mr. Chekhov, is that a wessel or a sheep?
