The trip aboard the transport ship that brought my Air Force father and mother to Japan promised to be a long, tedious one.    But the Navy trying to liven things up for the couples, posted this sign by the galley for all to see when they dined.   “Officers may mess with their wives between 1100-1200 and 1800-1900.”

 “Officers may mess with their wives between 1100-1200 and 1800-1900.”

I know what it really means, but the term "mess" just got me to chuckling. When I was that age, an hour wasn't enough time for "messing" and at my age now....I'd have a lot of free time.
