Change.....for the better....?

  There's an old sea story about a ship's Captain who inspected his sailors, and afterward told the first mate that his men smelled bad.   The Captain suggested perhaps it would help if the sailors would change underwear occasionally. The first mate responded, "Aye, aye sir, I'll see to it immediately!"   The first mate went straight to the sailors who were swabbing the deck and announced, "The Captain thinks you guys smell bad and wants you to change your underwear."   He continued, "Pittman, you change with Jones, McCarthy,  you change with Witkowski, and Brown, you change with Schultz." THE MORAL OF THE STORY: Someone may come along and promise "Change", but don't count on things smelling any better. Related articles Yes, but were you wearing clean underwear?
