Why Submarines are better than women

  1. A submarine will kill you quickly. A woman takes
    her time.
  2. Submarines like it done at all angles.
  3. Submarines can be turned on easily anytime.
  4. A submarine doesn't mind if you smoke, drink, tell
    dirty jokes or cuss.
  5. A submarine does not object to being rigged for dive.
  6. Submarines come with manuals.
  7. A submarine is built for going down
  8. A submarine once down is quite willing to stay there
    as long as you want.
  9. Submarines are always in trim.
  10. You can dive a submarine any time of the month.
  11. Submarines don't whine unless something is really
    wrong.
  12. Submarines don't care how many other subs you
    have sailed on.
  13. Submarines don't come with in-laws.
  14. When sailing, you and your submarine arrive at the
    same time.
  15. Submarines don't mind if you look at other submarines
    or if you buy books and magazines about them.
  16. Submarines don't complain if you sleep somewhere
    else.
  17. Submarines don't mind if you stop off for a few beers
    on the way back.

A submarine is only better than a woman when it can 'go down' quicker

To be honest, I'd rather share a submarine with a hundred other men than a hundred women.
