Leave it to a 10-year old to let the cat out of the bag. Now EVERYONE will want to be a Captain.
They left out "and someday if I am a captain, I may be able to meet my daddy, who my mommy tells me was also a captain. And if my brothers and sisters become captains, they may be able to meet their daddies too."
Hey, that all happened BEFORE we were Captains!
Didn't know Captains were such chick magnets. Maybe CW or Mudge will share with us some of their exploits.
"Didn't know Captains were such chick magnets."
Duh. Why do you think the song goes "Yo no soy marinero, soy capitán".
Maxwell's 5th Equation of Electro-Chick-Magnetism:
Captain's uniform = puppy + baby
Mudge--go on and tell them about the Harvard girl in Crete....burnish my Conservative credentials a little....
You swore me to secrecy back then and I never break a promise.
So our intrepid young Naval Officer and future ship captain/blogger/politician is at a bar in Crete talking to not one but two attractive 20-something American women on vacation whe...never mind. I just can't do it.
Let me just leave it with: even THAT didn't sway CW from his political principles. It was then that I knew he was destined for national office.
Harvard women are notoriously ugly. Did you have the old beer-goggles on? What did you talk about, polypeptides or plasma physics?
GHD - I will answer for CW. As I recall, what they discussed was the Education Bill being passed in Congress that President GHW Bush threatened to veto.
Oh, and these Harvard co-eds were apparently (according to CW) exceptions to the Harvard rule: good looking AND dumb. (the latter not necessarily being an exception to a Harvard rule when it comes to politics).
LOL What do you think XO should I share this with the skipper
