One time when Lasi kokkur had just arrived on

board a trawler where he had signed on as ship’s

cook, he went straight to the bridge to see the

captain. When Lasi got to the door of the bridge

he asked:

"Which one of you is the skipper?

The first mate replied:

"What the hell is that to you?"

"I just wanted to be able to tell him apart from

the rest of you damned grunts."
