Tales from the Deep!

So where the hell did Deep Banana come from?  Years ago there was a Captain named Steve who got a job piloting a certain submarine in Lahaina harbor.  Thanks to a certain bartender, the name “Steve” soon became “Deep”.  The name remained “Deep” for several years until one evening (presumably after church) young Deep was at the bar for many hours when a young lady walked in.  Being ever so suave as he is, Deep proceeded to introduce himself as Deep Panetta (his full name at the time).  Unfortunately for Deep, after 14 or so beers the words became somewhat slurred and he unwittingly introduced himself to this young lady as “Deep Banana”.  Well she hauled off and cracked him a good one across the ole’ kisser much to the delight and hysterics of just about every single boat guy in the harbor (Erik’s note:  I’m laughing uncontrollably right now!).  From that day on in that little harbor called Lahaina, young Captain Steve Panetta was no more.
