# I'm fine thanks.
Is it beer time? I don't know why but I've been up hours and keep checking the yardarm but it's always still stupid o' clock. I don't half fancy a beer.

# if memory serves
you're supposed to get your first measure of rum at about 11... I think...

# 11 is acceptable.

# a fist of rum?
you've never heard that one.... it came about as a fair way to measure out the rum... one was required to plunge one's fist into the barrel and however much rum was displaced was the measure they were given... it's a very good technique.

*hopes he got away with it*

# nope
that gets you 5 lashes... although the practice was taken out of use when people started injecting their hands with piss which made them swell to almost twice their size meaning that the sailor in question was too drunk and too cack handed to do their job properly.
