Quite right, John. Deploying onboard the (fill in the name) sounds right.

I always thought that the only 'boats' in the Navy apart from lighters
and liferafts were the subs. In their world, of course, there are
only 'boats' and 'targets.' :-D

As far as the risk/benefit ratio goes, well, people sail small boats
across the ocean when they could get much the same effect by standing
in a cold shower ripping up hundred-dollar bills. (We could do the
same thing, but squatting in the middle of a blacktop parking lot in
mid-summer.)

But truth be told, the Harley shirt captures it best: If you have to
ask, you wouldn't understand.

It may weight 80,000 tons, but it sure looks
like a boat from the cockpit. : )

I just watched on OLN a show about bull riding followed by a show about
running the bulls at Pamplona. There's no accounting for taste in
thrills...

I like the bumper stickers that say "It's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't

Having led IU since 1971, Mr. Knight's firing was prompted by a series of
outbursts and confrontations that go back more than two decades. He once
wrapped his hand around a player's neck during practice. He threw a chair in
front of a Purdue player about to shoot a technical foul shot during a game.
He told NBC's Connie Chung during a 1988 interview "I think that if rape is
inevitable, lay back and enjoy it."

To quote the famous former Texas gubernatorial candidate, just "lay back
and enjoy it".

You want one of these stale donuts?
A beer to wash them down perhaps?

Have a great day,
