Post; Ummm, Bears at Sea?


IN THE NAVY much of our time is spent at sea, drilling for emergencies. Once, when our ship was conducting simulated combat exercises, a message came over the loudspeaker: "This is a drill, torpedo hit to starboard, all hands prepare to abandon ship -- land bears 090 degrees, 11 miles."

Running to my abandon-ship station, I was stopped by a young seaman, apparently on his first sea tour. "Excuse me," he drawled, "but if we really had to swim for it, how would we deal with those bears?"
