Manti Teo: I mean, WTH?

[geetrue]

Reminds me of a sea story, this one ain't no lie.

We, meaning the USS Salmon SS-573, were in
San Francisco for a small up keep at Hunters point shipyard back in 1963.

I was too young and couldn't go on liberty till
I was qualified anyway, but the rest of the crew
hit the beach and went to their favoirte hangout
the Horse and Cow a well known submarine bar in
downtown San Francisco.

One of the guys starts up a conversation with a
stunning well dressed beauty of a girl, she buys him
drinks and everything and then they leave the bar together
with the rest of the crew laughing and hiting each other on
the arm with the awful truth of this was no girl.

The next morning at quarters everyone knew and the offending
party was there (an electrican mate as I do recall) and after
quarters someone told the COB and he comes over and says
to poor sucker (who surely by now knew he had been found out)

"It's okay to play to but sooner or later you have to pay"

You had to be there to see him spitting and everyone laughing.

at least this guy manti Teo didn't go all the way
