If it were the bridge log from the Naval vessel I served aboard you would have read my entry.

One day I arrived on the bridge to 'take the conn' and was rather late for my watch and duty station.

In hopefulness I asked the Captain if perchance the log entry could read that I assumed the watch 'on time'.

The Captain replied angrily: "In this log book we only write the truth!!"

The next day upon again 'assuming the conn' I made my first entry in the official US Naval Ship's log: "Assumed the conn at 18:00 hours; today the Captain was sober when I relieved him."
