The Chief sees a seaman coming toward him and aks him what his name is.
"John," replies the seaman.
The Chief gives a surly look and tells the seaman that he is not going to call any one by their first name because that breeds familiarity. "I only call men by their last name, got that? So, what's your name, seaman?"
Yes, sir! My name is Darling. John Darling, sir!"
"Carry on, John."
