Bored, more bored, most bored...
I'm currently writing a paper (about 10 pages) on problems inherent in Bertrand Russell's theories of speech translation from Ordinary Language to Artificial Language. It's for my Analytic Philosophy Class. Sounds fun right? So for entertainment, here's some remarks made by RADM (Rear Admiral - 1 Star) J. Stark, USN, made in Newport, RI on 10 November 1995:
"...it occurred to me that the services could be characterized by different breeds of dogs...The Air Force reminded me of a French Poodle. The poodle always looks perfect...sometimes seems a bit pampered...always travels first class. But don't ever forget that the poodle was bred as a hunting dog and in a fight it's very dangerous. The Army is kind of like a St. Bernard. It's big and heavy and sometimes seems a bit clumsy. But it's very powerful and has lots of stamina. So you want it for the long haul. The Navy, God bless us, is a Golden Retriever. They're good natured and great around the house. The kids love 'em. Sometimes their hair is a bit long...they go wandering off for long periods of time, and they love water. ...Marines I see as two breeds, Rottweilers or Dobermans, because Marines come in two varieties, big and mean, or skinny and mean. ...They're aggressive on the attack and tenacious on defense. They've got really short hair and they always go for the throat. That sounds like a Marine to me!"
