Back in the good days…A lot more parties then. Not now. Breathalyze you, before you come on board. Very strict.

Years ago, you might walk in and have a bong. Drink up top. Bong down with us. Narcotics, had to get it out of your system. You could buy a false penis, bring it with you, piss out of it.

It was everywhere back then. Parties on board. Pick up some Wyalla Divorcees, drop ’em off next port – say Burnie. Fly them home. Pick up some Burnie Belles. Sometime you’d be called on deck to let the ship go, middle of a party, in your undies. Good times.

They looked after you back then. Say you lost a leg in a workplace accident, they kept you on. A peggy – peg leg, would work around the kitchen, easier job, but they looked after you. Now, pay you off. Gone.
