I spent my MIDN 3rd Class cruise on the USS BRAINE (DD-630), callsign
"Snowdrift".

One of the carriers we operated with that summer (can't recall which) had
the callsign "Climax".

"I've had a lot of calls asking if my dog Ernest was running for Governor.
I explained to each caller that Ernest died several years ago, to which the
usual response has been, 'So what?' Come to think of it, would a dead dog
running for Governor make California look any more weird than it already
does?"

om...
I was thumbing through the JANAP call sign book once and came across
"Dingleberry" - it was a navy ship, forget what kind, DD maybe.
