"I've been reminded"--repeatedly, because there were those in the front office who weren't sure about Jack's ability to retain information, "that today is our last class together, wenches, mateys, and possible eunuchs." He climbed up the mainsail mast and grinned down at the students. "So we'll end with one of the most traditional of songs--What Do You Do With a Drunken Sailor?"

He waggled his eyebrows. "Not that I have ever overindulged."

That was a lie. A huge, huge lie.

"Everyone together now!" he said, leading them in:

What do you do with a drunken sailor,
What do you do with a drunken sailor earl-eye in the mornin'?
Way-hey, and up she rises,

What do you do with a drunken sailor,
What do you do with a drunken sailor earl-eye in the mornin'?

"If I see you at the bar, I'll buy you a round," he promised at the end of class.

That was also a lie.
