Article 2. Oh, the grog. The jolly, jolly grog.
That's how it starts out, but before you know
it you're vomiting on the deck, calling the
Captain a whoreson and you've got a cat o'
nine tails on your back.
"All flag officers, and all persons in or
belonging to His Majesty's ships or vessels
of war, being guilty of profane oaths,
cursings, execrations, drunkenness,
uncleanness, or other scandalous actions, in
derogation of God's honour, and corruption of
good manners, shall incur such punishment as
a court martial shall think fit to impose,
and as the nature and degree of their offence
shall deserve."
Why would you be executed in Nelson's Navy?

Huh. I specifically say that I'd destroy the Earth by crashing it into another planet, and I'd be executed for drinking? The Navy was a great deal harder on alcoholics than Hollywood has indicated....
:) Great job, Swambo, Cait and Swambo & Cait's mom. An excellent quiz, not earning points for planet-smashing aside.

I concur with the quiz's awesomeness. Apparently, I would be executed in Nelson's Navy for being a god-damned whiner. Which sucks. Everyone picks on me, and when I raise my perfectly valid concerns to the captain, I get flogged. Whaaaa!
