0 fabpig Posted February 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) I thought someone might have heard this before. I guess it's not silly (is a legit puzzle) and having 0 replies thus far, not quick. I'll add the punctuation. What goes:- stern to bow, starboard: bow to stern, port?
