  • Fun side story: During that same week I watched an unsecured silverware cart on the mess deck go careening off a wall and down the hall at ***** mach; it ended up upturning a table that was bolted to the floor and the impact looked like a damn fireworks show with forks, spoons and butterknives flying everywhere.
