The Log of the Good Ship USS Unsubstainable
 

This is a play on political and nautical terms humor is the upmost as the good ship USS Unsubstainable steams through the sea of red ink. 1. GOP seen amidship seen rearranging the deck chairs {Sarah Palin}.

unsubstainable is not a word i am familiar with

As long as the band is playing a popular tune, it's all good! :|\\

Its in the dictionary of incontravertabubble gibberish, It is defined there as not sustainable substances. Either that or a sub that can't be stained. Either way works.:know::D

Break the word down, just like they learned you in school

- Sub - Submarine

- Stainable means the ability to be or the condition vulnerable to be stained

- Un means not

Unsubstainable - A submarine that never gets dirty on the outside.

Sheesh do I have to explain everything?

:D


ps Damn you Tarjack, once again your post-fu was faster than mine

That or un applies to sub, meaning its an un submarine (or non submersable) that is stainable

Ah a nuance I did not consider.

This topic is more complex than first imagined.

So that would mean any conventional ship:hmmm:

On the contrary, I believe it refers to a substance that is unable to make a stain on a sub.

"I can't use this dye to camouflage the decks, Herr Kaleun - it's unsubstainable!"

Of course in German it would be different, most notably several thousand syllables longer.

At least they maintain a spotless record...

ununterseebootenhaltbare?

:hmmm:

Needz moar throat clearing.

unfleckhachenunterseebootenhachenhaltbare

Better?

What, no umlaut? :O:

I think I got inoculated for that when I was in the service.
