A retired sailor put on his old uniform and heads for the docks once more for old times sakes. He engages a prostitute and takes her up to a room.

He's soon going at it as well as he can for a guy his age, but needing some reassurance, he asks " How am I doing ??

The prostitute replies, "Well old sailor, you're doing about three knots. "

"Three knots ? " he asks, "What's that supposed to mean ??

She says, "You're knot hard, you're knot in, and you're knot getting your money back !!!
