Reeves, bound for Japan, was busted one rank, fined and given extra
duty for three weeks. Looking forward to celebrating his 21st birthday
on July 22, he consoled himself every night during his extra duty by
reciting, "They can bust me, they can fine me -- but they can't take
away my birthday." As July 22 approached, his excitement increased.
When he went to bed on July 21, he happily repeated,
"They can bust me, they can fine me -- but they can't take away my birthday."
The next morning, he found out that the ship had crossed the
international date line -- and it was July 23.
