Dont you know who I am?
My father was in the Royal Navy on ashore based ship. It was a ratings first day on guard duty.
One day this guy arrived at the gate, and the conversation went
Him: let me in, Ive left my badge in my office
Guard: No sir - no badge - no entry
Him: But I'm the captain of this ship
Guard: Sorry sir - I cant do it
Him: I'm the captain of this ship - dont you know me
Guard: Sorry - no sir -its my first day
Him: What's your name... .. now call the officer of the watch
OOW: Ah Hello Captain - what's the problem?
Next day the rating was summonsed to the captain's office. This usually meant punishment!
Captain: Well done for not letting me in. I left my badge behind, but if you had let me in, you would be here on a charge, rather than a commendation. Well done.
