So, do I get the job as cook or what?

//E.H.
(thinking up recipes for monkey balls - with, of course,
enough liquor to make sure we sing our best!)

  More on Shipholds.

  Unlike a ship's hold where cargo is stowed, a shiphold is a household
based on a nautical theme/  It's usually organized along the lines of a ship
in that the head of the house hold is the Captain followed by the first mate
or officer (the difference between 1st mate and 1st officer is the
difference between a merchant ship and a Navy Ship).  The shiphold functions
pretty much the same as a house hold.

  The only requirement for this shiphold is that we must learn and sing Sea
Chantys (mostly at the top of our lungs in an inebriated fashion).
