A drunken sailor on liberty got into a big mud puddle in the street and was looking for something there.

Soon two other sailors came over and asked him: Hey, bud, what are you looking for?

You better give me a hand, men, said the drunk.

The new arrivals walked into the puddle too and set about searching something unknown. At last the first drunk got out of the puddle and exclaimed: Ive found it!

What did you find?

The shore! he exclaimed.
