Sub Stories
My dad served in the Navy during the early 70’s on a nuclear submarine. Growing up, this sounded wildly exciting. As an adult, however, I suspect the experience was much more mundane, especially given the two most common anecdotes my father cites from that time.
One, they cleaned the machinery with orange Kool-Aid. Moral of story: orange Kool-Aid is highly corrosive. (I liked grape better anyhow.)
Two, the eggs on board were not refrigerated for the entire, multi-week run. Moral of story: it’s hard to spoil an egg.
