Drabble by Kevin Fagan for March 23, 2019

Hasn’t gotten his land legs yet.

That used to happen to me when I was in the Navy. People in port thought we were all drunk as soon as we got off the ship.

He seems to be putting the weight back on….

JD’Huntsville’AL is the winner

I fell down the first time I got off a boat.

“Sea legs!”

Many years ago when I went on my 1st cruise, you had to step over the doorway to go out on the deck. After I came home I kept doing it when I went thru an out side door.

Back in the day I would strip/wax floors for a living. I used to have great hirsute stripper’s legs.

Some people get very dizzy after a cruise. It’s called mal de debarquement (land sickness), kind of the opposite of mal de mer.

Trust me there is such a thing as sea legs, USN 65-95 5 Aircraft Carriers and 9 cruises of 9-11 months in length.

A cruise director once told me that you can tell who’s drunk on a cruise ship, they’re the ones walking in a straight line!!

Been there, done that.

Sea legs…..was on shipboard duty for 2 years. After my first cruise,Iwas home doing dishes and was swaying….never knew it was really true until then!

I took two cruises in 1965 to the Carribean. They lasted 3 months each. Compliments of Uncle Sam and the US Marine Corps. Every time the Navy goes out, there are Marines on board!
