Interview of a senior officer

|Captain was walking on the deck when he stumbled across a senior officer.|

Captain decided to interview a senior officer about his office life. The senior officer was known as the Venom and he has at least seven years of experience on the ship.

Captain: So... how long have you been on the ship?

Venom: Seven... Seven scurvy dogs' life, on this devil-cursed ship!

Captain: Aye, me heard another senior officer jumpin' off the ship, ye must be the next in promotion?

Venom: Nay, let me tell ye a secret, a very poisonous secret, lest year, the captain of the ship told me about a promotion. He told me there were two candidates, me or him. At the end of the decision, he was selected. And  at that time, he was about to jump ship. The people-up-there immediately convinced him to stay by offering him the promotion. Then, me was out of the equation. The people-up-there then comforted me that... it was not becos' of the jumpin' but due to something else!

Captain: Argh, that be sad...

Venom: Not as sad till ye hear the rest of the story... Again, movin' forward 8 months later after promotion, he decided to jump ship. And this time, he had no remorse, he jumped. The people-up-there had to pick someone. Me knew no chances as even on the final day, no one approached me.

Captain: Pretty sad...

Venom: Not until the very last minute, that people-up-there finally came to me...

Captain's eye twitched.

Venom: Ye know what they said to me? "Sonny, actually, we have a lot of other choices... and I think the seat is now yours.."
