@MontereyJack,
I was attempting some humor that was originated by folks in the sub service. I used it once to get on Georgeob's case (he can attest to the fact that I did not make that up). He just said something about smartass submariners and that it was an old joke .
I never like the idea of driving around blindfolded at full speed while taking directions from some other blind guy whose just got a better sense of hearing.
