I grew up sailing, in a modest little lass like the one I just bought for 50 cents at my neighbor's garage sale... and one of my mates wanted to help, so I got him swabbin' the deck!
(he's swabbin' the deck with a cotton swab)
very "punny" don't you think? ~he thought so~
Pun: definition: (pŭn) n. A play on words, sometimes on different senses of the same word and sometimes on the similar sense or sound of different words.
