A VIP was visiting a naval ship. Arriving at the midshipmen's cabin (in which
only four people could fit comfortably) the Captain informed the VIP that 30
midshipmen were quartered there.

exclaimed the astonished VIP.
"Not thirty people, your excellence, "the Captain hastened to explain,
"thirty midshipmen."
