Any of you really crusty old salts know what a Charley Noble is? I heard
this term the other day from an "ancient mariner", and I hadn't heard it
since 1965, brought back some real good memories. Any one care to take a
crack? Also, anyone know the origin of the term?

Wow, that *is* a trip down memory lane. Won't give it away, but will
mention that it got its name from 19th century (British) Capt. Noble,
who demanded polish.
