Quote:What's really frightening is that they *DO* have battleship anchors in the supply chain still, seeing as how they mothballed the last of them over 10 years ago!"I was an Otaku before those kids came along and changed the meaning of the word."
Conversely, they should always make sure that they put the right part number on the order form. A friend who worked in the Quartermaster's Office at an Army base in Colorado Springs tried to order toilet paper for the entire base and ended up with a battleship anchor. Seems that not only do the Armed Forces all use the same distributing department, but they don't check their orders with their locales. Fortunately, there was a Navy Quartermaster out there with a surplus of toilet paper.

That's every ship in Grayson's Navy taking up the cry-
