Eric,
My crew has often heard me say "Crank harder! You can rest when you're
dead!", "Rain never killed anybody!" and "The beatings will stop when morale
improves."
Once, when pushing a crew to grind faster, I heard back, "Dammit Jim!
I'm a doctor, not a winch grinder." along with a few "I'm given it all she's
got, captain!" in a poorly done Scottish brogue.
All the best,
Edd
