Stupidity is Contagious

[Bandit]

Captains log: We have been adrift in the sea for the past month. Supplies are out. I had to shoot another crewman for trying to eat the sub. I knew this ship was bad news the moment I was assigned. I mean...come on! A Quiznos class ship named The Turkey Club? Idiots.....

You know, this brings whole new dimensions to "Das Boot" and "Run Silent, Run Deep".

Oh, they know what a submarine is....it's a sandwich. Now, quit trying to trick us and apologize!

BTW - You're a legend in your own mind you are.

I will never apologize! NEVER!! *shakes fist in air*

Yesh I am. Is it THAT obvious?

Should have asked them where they thought The Beatles were living all these years

That one's simple - extra mustard

And if you were to say to both of those idiots "A submarine is a ship you fucking retard!", you would be the rude one.

Not only rude, but wrong. Ask anyone from "the silent service" - a submarine is a boat, not a ship.

Something about being able to land an aircraft on a ship (?).

I'd heard that boats were for rivers and lakes, whereas ships were for seas. I suspect that's inaccurate.

Ah, Wikipedia has an extra - agrees with the above and adds sea areas near the coast. It also mentions the submarine question, saying that they could originally be carried by a ship.

I think they would still distinguish between a modern, full-size submarine (which includes the U-boats) and the mini-subs used for special ops (which the early ones universally were).
