HAHA! Thats awesome! My dad took me to the aqueduct a few times. I fished & he & his wife shot muskrats I think. They said they had to because the dig tunnels that eventually will cave in and take a car into the canal. I argued they shouldn't kill them but lost the battle.

I went halibut fishing with my father in law and we are loading up and he goes, "Oh, I almost forgot my pistol." He comes back with a Colt .45. I'm like going are you expecting some trouble? He goes no it's to shoot the fish with. I'm like what the hell? I guess you don't bring a live halibut into the boat because they can tear it up thrashing around. Got to love ocean fishing.No!

I talked to a guy who served on a boomer submarine and he said they would go out for several months and spend most the time submerged. He says underwater unless they are making a fast turn the sub is rock solid. It's like being in a building almost. He says as soon as they surface, especially in rough seas the boat starts to rock. Everyone is like going, lets get this thing back down.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

My dad was a contractor building a facility for the navy and the workmen were going to go on strike. This was a facility that was going to be used to develop nuclear propulsion for naval vessels and it had priority. Admiral Rickover himself showed up and addressed the construction crews. He said you guys can get back to work and make the money you are now or you can go on strike and get drafted and make a serviceman's pay. He said I got your names and numbers and I have a lot of pull in DC and if you don't think I can do it, try me. Nobody went on strike.
Hyman George Rickover (January 27, 1900 – July 8, 1986) was a four-star admiral of the United States Navy who directed the original development of naval nuclear propulsion and controlled its operations for three decades as director of Naval Reactors. In addition, he oversaw the development of the Shippingport Atomic Power Station, the world's first commercial pressurized water reactor used for generating electricity.Last edited by Nitro Express; 12-03-2012, 03:03 AM.No!

I was just used to smashing the fish's head on the side of the boat or giving them a whack with a fish whacker (a small wooden club). It was the first time I ever heard needing a large caliber handgun to dispatch the catch. I knew I was in new territory. Halibut are some ugly fish too. They deserve to get shot just for being so ugly.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment
