Now that's what I called Boss

There are only two types of Boss on tis' Earth.

One that listens, and the other only talks. There is a third type which is very rare breed that listens and talks. Lucky for you if have that third type of Boss, treasure it. The rare breed is like a magic goblin that comes to your life once in awhile, and then vanish into thin air (Touch wood).

The Captain do not have the luxury of a rare breed at this moment of life, yet.

The Captain picked up his courage and talked to the Boss about something important that is beneficial to the ship. He told the boss to get goods from the local inhabitants in the island. Before he could finish his sentence, his boss snapped him off by telling the Captain that the island up north called Republic of Porcelain has better quality, and they provide goods made of gold. 

The Captain waited for the Boss to finish his sentence, and then Captain replied, "Yea, the local here too provide goods made of gold."

The Boss stunned.

Apparently, the word "quality" has a new definition. The Captain is now sailing in a sea where "good" quality belongs to the Republic of Porcelain.

A scrubber to a scrubber

A walk along the hull of the ship. The Captain saw a scrubber, he knelt down and asked him about his work. "Aye, ye the new scrubber? Ah, see that sail, wind goes through it and pick the ship with it." He repeated, "Ye the new scrubber?" "Yas, sire, I'm the new scrubber!" the Captain smiled. --- Everyone is the same when you are in the pond.

Teaching Monkeys #3

Monkeys were looking at their test result when two of the monkeys were not satisfied with their result. Monkey #1: Can you add 1 more marks here? Captain: Wait, let me see. I have already marked here. Captain flipped a few more pages to check any overlook marks. But all marks were given. The total was 20 marks for that question. Captain: Look, I have given all full marks 20/20. Monkey #1: Eh, can you give me extra marks? Captain: Look, it is full marks. What is your problem? You want 21/20? Monkey #1: I am afraid of my final examination. Captain: Listen carefully, your test here is full marks. Do you understand English? Monkey #2: (Give a blank paper to Captain). Can you give me some marks? Captain: Wait, what? How can I give you marks? Monkey #2: Look, I have helped the others and explained to the others how to do it. Captain: What? What is that have to do with your marks? --- Both monkeys were trying to get more marks in their test.

Just a few more days to go

Scrubbin' the wood and pointin' the board. The Captain was found teaching some monkeys on a very far away island called Isla De Pur Wawa. Forget about the name. But what was he doing there? In the long ago story, he had escaped the blue ship. Why here? Look closer to the Captain and the monkeys. Fifty monkeys squatting on the ground and looking at the Captain while the Captain chalking a wooden board. The monkeys can talk too! He was stranded on an island! The Captain put down his chalk and turns around. Captain: Now, has anyone gotten a job on the ship yet? Monkey 1: Yes, but me not signed yet. Captain: May I know why? Monkey 1: Wakey time 8 in the morning! Me no wake up. Me asked for 9, waitin' reply. Captain face-palmed. Captain: Tell me any ship that does not start at 8? --- The monkey was applying as an internship and hoping the company will allow it to start work at 9 am.
