A minister was seated on a plane bound from Hong Kong to the US with stopover in Honolulu .
After the stopover a crusty old Chief Petty Officer boarded and as fate would have it he was seated next to the minister.
After the plane was airborne, to continue on its journey, drink orders were taken.
The Flight Attendant asked the CPO if he wanted a drink. The CPO asked for Rum & Coke, which was prepared and placed before him.
The flight attendant then asked the minister if he would like a drink. He replied in disgust..... "I'd rather be savagely ravaged by a dozen ladies of ill repute than let liquor touch my lips."
The old Chief then handed his drink back to the attendant and said,
"Me too, I didn't know we had a choice."

If more men loved and cherished their wives as much as I love bacon the world would be a much better place.

Re: An Old Salt Takes An Airline
As a crusty old chief petty officer myself, I resemble that remark!
My mind reader refuses to charge me..........
Now listen boy, I'm tryin' to teach you somethin'. That ain't an optical illusion, it only LOOKS LIKE an optical illusion.

Being an old Navy Chief who has flown out of Honolulu, this sounds vaguely familiar.....
Re: An Old Salt Takes An Airline
Being from the State that gave Carrie Nation to the World, there are some folks who are just as anti alcohol as that minister in the joke. Mrs. Nation would have just pulled out her hatchet and started a serious attempt to resemble a veg-o-matic run amok.
