It is observed at sea that men are never so much disposed to grumble and mutiny as when least employed. Hence an old captain, when there was nothing else to do, would issue the order to "scour the anchor".
—Samuel Smiles
A deadly viper once bit a hole snipe's hide; But 'twas the viper, not the snipe, that died.
