Mutiny on the Bounty

Occasionally, there would be a quiz question posted on the info board at the station. Generally, they were reasonable questions with sensible answers. However, in an humorous effort to undermine the quality of the quizmaster the following was posted one night shift.

On what ship did "Mutiny on the Bounty'' take place?

Early shift duly arrived and still being half asleep either didn't notice our offerings, or saw only the banal nature of our humour.

In walks one of the civilian drivers (let's call him Dougie) who pondered and scratched his chin before, in all sincerity, answered:

I know this. Don't tell me. It's on the tip of my tongue. Was it the Golden Hynd?

The entire place erupted, well apart from Dougie. With tears running down my cheeks and a sore face from laughing I bade everyone farewell and sloped off home leaving a much bemused civvy driver wondering what was so funny and if the Golden Hynd wasn't the answer, what was?

Oh the joys !!
