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

Or just choose the much quicker option: do a google search for a word that has the umlaut-ed letter you want in it, and then copy and paste.

Seems to me there are many Democrats in Congress (not saying you) that have the same issue.

I would hope that everyone in Congress has that same issue.

You all are getting closer....

This actually is a reference to the inability to simply paint a submarine whilst as it is underwater.

See here:

Un - not

sub - A vessel operating under the surface

stainable - the ability to be painted.

Thus what we have here is:

"Log of the Good Ship Unabletobepaintedwhileunderwater" - to which I would note that:

A) in the case of disaster not during wartime, logs should be sealed in a waterproof canister so for salvage

and

B) any Captain who earned the title would know that he could therefore paint his vessel once it was surfaced.

This now concludes my take on this sillyness.... for now.

I watch "Criminal Minds" on TV and 'unsub' refers to 'unknown subject/suspect'. Perhaps what we have here is an unknown subject/suspect who can't be 'stained' with evidence of a crime, such as John Gotti, "The Teflon Don". Either that or George W. has been making up words again...
