What if Guam were to capsize...???

[helolumpy]

I don't know what's funnier, the fact that this question was actually asked, of watching ADM Willard try to keep from laughing during testimony.

Wow. People elected someone who for some reason can't figure out that the word he's looking for is "narrowest", thinks Guam will capsize, and sounds like he's stoned. I no longer will complain about politicians. They're just serving the idiots that choose them.

The guy has to be high.

 

[exhelodrvr]

This is not untypical for him.

FACEPALM moment in the Congress

So at about 1:20 the Congressman says something that is both funny.... and very very very sad...

Hard to believe that the Admiral was able to keep it together and answer so quickly... I would have been dumbfounded as to how to address his concerns...

All do respect to the Congressman of course...

Repost, merged... Damn, statesman - you should know better.... How's flight school going? Has Padre Island capsized yet?

 

[statesman]

Sorry about that just landed mind is still a little hazy, didnt think to check all the new posts....

To answer your question though:

We had a scare yesterday... Thankfully we moved some houses around, redistributed the weight... Oh yeah and we stopped taking LSD, which significantly reduced our concerns that islands capsize...

Is Hawaii in any danger? Is there anything in the SDO's manual to cover "Impending Island Capsizement"?

Well no point in implementing the emergency destruction plan, considering all your classified is going to be BURIED UNDER A HUGE FREAKING ISLAND.

I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for the entire state of Georgia. The sad thing is that Cynthia McKinnie, and her father are more bat shit crazy than this guy. I was waiting for the Admiral to start looking around for the candid camera crew.

Likewise. It's embarassing. There are 3 or 4 districts in Georgia where this passes as sane/professional/statesmanship/etc.

Really?? Bat-shit comparison w/ McKinney?? IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE ???

I dunno about 'bats' ... but this guy is dumber than whale shit on the bottom of the deep blue sea ...

The biggest 'laugh' to be seen was the Admiral and those seated behind him trying to keep a straight face ...

You know... I went to Guam on a port call 3 or 4 times. One time I thought it had actually tipped over, but then realized I had just fallen off my stool. I still swear it got a little shaky real late at night. You guys be careful out there.
