Roman Holiday
Back in the days when Roman galleys plied the Mediterranean, a crew of oarsmen was sweating and straining to propel the ship through high seas when the first mate appeared.
"I've got good news and bad news," he says.
"The good news is we've spotted an island, so the plan is to stop, drink rum, hunt a couple
of wild boars, have a feast and relax with the native girls."

The sailors all cheer in happiness, all but one, who asks, "And what is the bad news?"
"Well," the first mate replies, "tomorrow, the captain wants to go water skiing."
