Then there's me, overlooked for leadership. I have a plan to make us men again, charts, graphs, advanced social training and vigorous exercise. With me, you have a chance to actually fight the enemy and die proudly for your country. Don't any of you want to be heroes?

WHO"S WITH ME?

You're confused again. As usual.

The object is to make the other guys die for their country.
If you allow yourself to be killed, I'll have no choice but to bring you up on charges of DESTRUCTION OF GOVERNMENT PROPERTY.

Not likely we're gonna die here in port. Can't we just take a spin around the bay and see what our one working engine can do? Can I steer just once?

NOPE! you are the indispensable man! IE: the forward torpedo crew of our bilgerat pigboat!(It's literally a one man job!) Job description as follows: LT Armistead to personally detonate the SPAR torpedo: a series of lines that operates the spar torpedo that must be carefully pulled in sequence, in the dark, and possibly under fire. As with the immortal LT Cushing.... you coolly execute the task, a bullet(s) may "tear at his collar, and two more ripped through his clothing." the 16-foot-long iron pole that served as the sub’s weapon delivery system,... Not a release mechanism but rather the copper sleeve of the torpedo itself. This means the torpedo (120 lbs black powder??!!) exploded at the end of the spar, a discovery of critical importance. Due to the obvious expendability of your position, (see diagram below) You are prematurely issued The Southern Cross of Honour to maintain the remnants of your morale and the customary letter to yer next of kin has been prepared. Naturally your access to the medicinal bilge brew shall remain unhampered. We of the cranky crew will remain with the aft torpedo room shemales -as far back from the blast as possible-maintaining the remnants of our own (steel-balled) morale!

[Armistead]

What am I going to blow up? For us to do this, Wolferz must infiltrate some enemy port and he's still in the head even though he ran out of toilet paper a week ago.

Can you color code or number the lines so I don't forget the right order. Sometimes I get really stressed under stress, yea, I can say that.

I would also like one last visit in the aft.

And you get hoisted by your own petard.

Nobody wants to visit that swamp you call your aft. Not in it, near it or on it.
EVER! We'll just take you at your word about the "PU" tattoo on your bumper.

Did you have the "P" inked on the port cheek and the "U" inked on the starboard? That should really confuse the hookers. They won't know which end is "UP"

^Seating Arrangements: in order of Expendability bow to stern...no changes allowed! Armistead;Kapit.Endraß;Wolfertz;Tango;FireFtr8;Swa mprat;Aktung;Donna-alway polite to ladies! PS: ARMIBBY whose aft did you have in mind? The color code is 1. Red/ 2. White/ and 3. Blew...sky high!I kept it reeeal simple.

[Armistead]

So I sink my spar into the enemy while pulling with you guys aft of me?

When I start pulling, do I just jerk once or over and over until the explosion?

What if something goes wrong, do we have a plan B?

Maybe someone else should do it, I'll just make a big mess of it...

[swamprat69er]

I think you can do your own pulling.
