The admiral's daughter finally persuaded her father to allow her to marry the able seaman.

But the admiral was still worried about his decision some months later, so he warned his daughter, "Now, some of these sailors have strange desires. Whatever you do, don't give in to any requests he might make to have sex ...ahh...well... 'the other way'."

"Really, father!" replied his daughter. "Our sex life is our business, and for your information we are very happy."

But her father's remarks had got her wondering, so later that night she said to her husband, "Do you ever feel like having sex 'the other way,' sweetie?"

"What?!," yelled her husband. "No way! Next thing you know the house would be full of bloody kids!"
