Is Your Porthole Closed?

I was on duty aboard the ship to go around and see different, make sure at a certain time of night or day when it was starting to get dark, after we had taken off was to go around and make sure the port holes were all closed, no light to be shown and so forth. I can tell you a funny anecdote, one of these nights when I was out checking on port holes and so forth, I’ve talked to the nurse since but she has passed away now. I went up to this one stage room, knocked on the door, no answer. I knocked again because I knew it was a nurses cabin. I knocked the third time and nobody answered so I took my key and I opened the door and as I opened up the door, the door from the shower opened up and there she was standing and I said, “Is your port hole closed? ” We both looked at each other and laughed like crazy. We really laughed. We brought that up a few times at reunions when I met her.
