Pusser's Rum

A mug from my family's private collectionA nice slogan from Pusser's (my favorite history flavoured rum), that goes with some Royal Navy traditional toasts:

Monday
To our ships at sea.
Tuesday
Our men.
Wednesday
Ourselves (as no one is likely to concern themselves with our welfare).
Thursday
A bloody war and quick promotion.
Friday
A willing soul and sea room.
Saturday
Sweathearts and wives, may they never meet.
Sunday
Absent friends and those at sea.

But the standing toast
That pleased the most was:

The wind that blows
the ship that goes
and the lass that
loved a sailor!
