Who the f*** else would be able to tie all those God damn knots and figure out nautical terminology?And star charts and what the fuck a sexton is
A sexton is a religious position (not that kind of position, you scoundrel).
A sextant is a device for measuring latitude, usually at sea.
Honorary title for clergy who have a ton of sex?
NERD!
