I hope my words are the good ones.

Too bad you didn't know that at the time.

But.....

see, we were the Deck (seaman) trainees.

The engineers were our mortal enemies. (the 2CV owner was a [spit!] engineer).

Dismanting it was an engineer task, obviously.

As deck types, our options were limited to inverting it, repainting it [we did that once), or throwing it into the river Clyde - which would have been unseamanlike...
