How about "A cheap dish but very tasty." ?

I can seem them exchanging air strikes.

Is there a USS MONICA LEWINSKY in the future of the "service" fleet?
:-)


Uh, that would be an SSN, I think. Always going down.

And full of seamen

Reminds me of:

"If you are what you eat, and you don't know what you're eating - do you know who you are?"


Good follow-ons, you guys.

There used to be a suction vessel, for oil spills, at Pearl Harbor, called
the Juicy Scoopy.

There's actually a USS Hillary R. Clinton in the "Axis of Time" series
of historical fiction novels. Named after the assasinated 44th
president of the United States, "The most uncompromising wartime
president the country ever had", the Big Hill is thrown back in time
and emerges near Midway Island just before the decisive battle between
the U.S. and Japan. General time-travel chaos ensues.

The most uncompromising wartime president the country ever had

Sounds like a not-very-original plotline rip-off of the movie The Final Countdown (1980), not to mention a characterization paralleling Margaret Thatcher's during the Falklands campaign.

Yes, well, if this movie season is any proof, originality doesn't
sell. (Sequels and remakes do, however).

You young whippersnappers probably don't remember this, but in one issue
in 1946, Life Magazine, which then ran a "picture of the week,"
published a rear-view picture of a woman wearing a stunningly beautiful
robe, made of flaming red satin, with a huge dragon embroidered all
over the back. It went all the way up one side and across the shoulders
and down the other side. And of course there were a lot of Chinese
characters.

In 1946 there were U.S.Marines in China. The picture's caption said that
the woman's husband, a Marine captain, had sent it to her.

A week or two later, the "Letters to the Editor" column contained a
brief letter from a Professor of Chinese at some university. It said,
"You may be interested to know that the inscription on that robe says,
"I am Nanking's finest prostitute."
