Winston Churchill once allegedly stated that the Royal Navy's greatest traditions were rum, sodomy, and the lash.
According to this story, all they're missing now is the lash.
You may commence with the "seamen" jokes, the "going down with the ship" jokes, the "dive! dive! dive!" jokes, and the like.

One of the many issues on which John McCain is hiding his plans from the American people in is regards to Social Security. It's an important issue to a lot of people.... a lot of Americans are counting on Social Security being there for them when they retire.

Seems that the McCain campaign folks never bothered to license the music they were illegally exploiting for free featuring in the videos. Updated and Bumped: They did it again - the second time in two weeks. Apparently copyright laws are among the laws easily ignored by the McCain camp. Third Update: They did it again and now they're being sued.

Where can you find pleasure... (Below threshold)1. Posted by Janette | February 22, 2005 7:07 AM | Score: 0 (0 votes cast)
Where can you find pleasure, search the world for treasure,
learn science, technology?
Where can you begin to make your dreams all come true
on the land or on the sea?
Where can you learn to fly, play in sports or skindive,
study oceanography?
Sign up for the big band or sit in the grand stand
when your team and others meet.
In the Navy, yes, you can sail the seven seas.
In the Navy, yes, you can put your mind at ease.
In the Navy, come on now people, make a stand.
In the Navy, can't you see we need a hand.
In the Navy, come on, protect the motherland.
In the Navy, come on and join your fellow, man.
In the Navy, come on, people, and make a stand.
In the Navy, in the Navy.

Now I feel somewhat vindicated for my “Run Silent, Run Deep Throat” movie title from last week.
Jay, any chance I can be retroactively upgraded from my dis-honorable mention to an honorable mention? Maybe in a “Life Imitates Art” category?

Unfotunately the rum ration went out in the 1960s. Replaced with a beer ration. Father was most upset.
