[Healeys] Naval wisdom

[P.M. Pollock]

 From Wikipedia:

"The wardroom is the officers' mess in a warship. ....It provides a 
place of recreation as well as being a dining room . .... Wardrooms have 
rules governing etiquette.  Traditionally considered taboo are three 
topics--politics, religion, and sex ...."

IIRC the custom goes back to the 18th Century Royal Navy.  A lot of 
experience behind it.
