It’s Fleet Week in New York City this week. It’s a time when lots of sailors and Navy ships and whatnot make an appearance in the Big Apple in advance of the Memorial Day weekend. It’s also one of David Letterman‘s favorite annual joke topics, right up there with Fashion Week and the Westminster Dog Show, among others. This year, I’m happy to report, I finally got a Fleet Week joke on air. Dave told the following joke on Wednesday’s Late Show (5/23/07):

Over at St. Patrick’s the priests were out front whistling at sailors.

This one got a few hoots from the crowd. Hey, at least all of the sailors are over 18!
