A Navy commander has to deliver a sensitive document to one of the ships in pprt. Between one delay and another, he doesn't make it to the waterfront until Sunday, on a 3-day weekend.
He delivers the doc, leaves the vessel, and stops at a soda machine. Discovers that he doesn't have any cash.
Being the holiday, none of the snack bars or coffee shops are open, and no one is around.
So, just as he gives up and turns to go back to his car, a lone enlisted sailor comes by.
"Excuse me!" he calls. Gestures at the machine. "Would you happen to have a spare dollar?"
"Sure thing, buddy," the enlisted says, reaching into his pocket.
"Hold on," snaps the officer. "I am not your buddy. I am a COMMANDER. A senior commissioned officer. You will address me with the respect due my position. Do you understand me?"
The enlisted man has snapped to attention by now. "Sir, yes, sir."
"Alright. So, let's try this again. Do you have a spare dollar?"
"No, sir," the sailor replies, then salutes and marches off.
