Why is the Canadian Navy as out of shape as I am?

[Drake Tungsten]

Seriously, wtf? It's Fleet Week in NYC and we ran into several members of the Canadian Navy at a bar in Murray Hill tonight. Every one of them had a beer gut to match mine. I've met many American naval officers and enlisted personnel, otoh, and they've all been in relatively good physical condition.

What's the deal? I've always wanted to join the military; is joining in Canada my golden ticket?

You must be really out of shape.

[Drake Tungsten]

Grad school will do that to you.

[Theben]

You really must enjoy a good chimney sweeping if you want to join the Canuck navy...

[Asher]

You can drink beer on Canadian Navy boats. It's why we're better.

While people on the US Navy boats rape eachother and go crazy, the Canadian Navy boats party with beer. Let's face it, the beer gut doesn't stop you from launching missiles.

[KrazyHorse]

The Canadian Navy isn't the military...

How fit do you need to be against a bunch of baby seals?

And the Danish.

And the Danish.

Is that intended to have two meanings?

It is now.

When did the USN go dry? Was it part of prohibition?

Rape and plunder are two of the most important responsibilities of a maritime fighting force.

Yes.

In other Fleet Week news, a couple of V-22s buzzed my commencement on Wednesday on their way up the Hudson. Very cool planes and unmatched by anything in the Russian arsenal.
