"Ahhhh, well...that's not quite true," says the man shyly. 

"What do you mean?" inquires the Captain. 

"Well, about six months ago I was down here on the shore washing my feet, when I noticed an ostrich up the beach with its head buried in the sand and it's ass facing me. I thought it's been over nine years, so I crept up behind it and WALLOP!"
