And who needs a spine when you live in a sea of abundance. Spines are for Marines that assault the beach.; 1/3/15, 10:03 AM

Because there are unspeakable horrors that lurk in the ocean's darkest depths which could do a better job in office than some I've seen in my lifetime.

The ones pictured at the link also have the advantage of interesting looks.; 1/3/15, 1:00 PM

BTW, there are no invertebrate US Marines. On many levels.; 1/3/15, 7:01 PM
ken in tx said...: Some of those in the Air force senior enlisted and Jr. officers were convinced that part of your brain was removed when you got promoted to Colonel. I don't think that is true. I think they only promote people who have brain damage. It's part of affirmative action.

I never got past Lt. Col.; 1/3/15, 9:29 PM
