There's an old sea story in the Navy about a ship's captain who inspected his sailors, and afterward told the chief boson's mate that his men smelled bad.
The captain suggested perhaps it would help if the sailors would change their underwear occasionally.
The chief responded, "Aye, aye sir, I'll see to it immediately!"
The chief went straight to the sailors berth deck and announced, "The captain thinks you guys smell bad and wants you to change your underwear. "Pittman, you change with Jones; McCarthy, you change with Witkowski; and Brown, you change with Schultz. Now get to it!!!"
THE MORAL: Someone may be promising "Change"; but don't count on things smelling any better!!
