Quote for the Day

“In his defense, I’ll say that sometimes, when you’ve been out to sea for a while, cut off from everything, you start to think things that you would never normally do are actually a good idea,” he said. “You do stupid stuff to stay sane.”

A U.S. Navy sailor aboard the Aircraft Carrier U.S.S. Enterprise, commenting on homoerotic training videos filmed and broadcast on the ship’s closed circuit video system by then XO and current Ship’s Captain Owen Honor.

Homosex, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the aircraft carrier Enterprise. Its 6 month mission: to explore strange new sex, to seek out new strange and new glory holes, to boldly blow what no US American has blown before.
