Charles, you took my broad, coarse humor and created something polished and eloquent. <sigh> Perhaps I could do that if I'd gone to the university you attended. Instead of getting my "education", so to speak, from the U. S. Navy.

At least I got to "Join the Navy; see the world."

(I saw Iceland for 18 months. Which is a beautiful country, by the way. I wish I was there now. The naval air station would be a busy place, what with being eleven miles from the volcanic eruption at Grindavik - which itself is the site of a major naval communications station.)
