At random: USS SKATE and USS SEADRAGON, after affecting a historic rendezvous under the ice, surfaced together at the North Pole through an opening in the ice on August 1962. What really happened: We didn't surface together, Skate surfaced first. Then we (Seadragon) fired yellow flares forward and aft so Skate could tell us how we were lined up. Remember, under-ice was primitive in these days. Skate called back down rapidly that one flare surfaced on her starboard side and the other to port. She requested we reposition before vertical surfacing. We did. - Coyote (Owen Carlson)

You are so smart, Park. I thought that some might think it was Dubya.

Sounded like Dubya... Here's one from him.

I would be very surprised if anyone on this board hasn't been guilty of minor grammatical errors like that. That's the case especially with me , as I occasionally fail to get my nouns and verbs to agree, especially when speaking extemporaneously in front of a crowd. Besides, unlike the above quote, President Bush's statement meant something and wasn't merely tautological.

That would be a much too sophisticated thought for Sarah.
