Front page of the Wall Street Journal: An officer who broaches the boat must wear a pair of pilot wings on his uniform, a reminder that subs aren't meant to fly.

This reminds me of all the times us apprentices (at the time) opened our mouths and gave our senior co-workers some stick. I have seen a few death-stares handed out as well as one particular incident where my mate said a particularly ill-advised smart-arse remark to a linesman, who then tied him to a wood pole and threw mugs of water over him until he apologised!:haha:
