At the US Naval Academy when a Plebe is asked by an Upperclassman:
How long have you been a SAILOR?  He is expected to reply:

"All me bloomin' life, sir!  Me mother was a mermaid; me father was King Neptune.
I was born on the crest of a wave and rocked in the cradle of the deep.  Seaweed
and barnacles are me clothes.  The hair on me head is hemp.  Every bone in me body's
a spar, and when I spits, I spits tar.  I'se hard, I is, I am, I are."
