When, exactly?
Pre-dawn, maybe? Before breakfast for sure.
Oh, well that early I’d probably choose *Put him in the scuppers with a hose-pipe on him *.
Mostly, because that’s the only option where I had no idea what any of those words mean.
Make him listen to repetitice Sea Chanties and Songs. Then give him a book to read:
Other. I told her she had beautiful eyes.
I guess it would depend on the circumstances. If he needed to report to duty, then perhaps the mustard plaster or hair of the dog would be appropriate. If I were the duty officer and in charge of discipline, then making him bale the long-boat seems suitable to me. If I were messing around, I might stick him with the captain’s daughter. But what’s she doing on the high seas with a rough and tumble bunch such as we?
Interesting, none of the poll options are lyrics I remember from that song (or were they not meant to be?).
- Put him in a boat and make him row it

Gets more interesting when you learn that “Captain’s daughter” is another term for a cat o’nine tails…
The engineering major who used to give me a lift to school sang “Dissolve him in perchloric acid.” Don’t ask me why.
I’d shave his scrotum with a rusty razor.
Cry 'n hug 'im at the in-ter-ven-tion
Cry 'n hug 'im at the in-ter-ven-tion
Cry 'n hug 'im at the in-ter-ven-tion
Earl-aye in the morning!
Put him in the back of the paddy wagon
Count the days til Fleet Week’s over
Shave his balls with a rusty razor.
I always heard “put him in a long-boat 'till he’s sober”.
Enroll him in a twelve-step program.
