I had a horrible dream last night: I was in the Navy and we just started to go over the equator

For those in the Navy, this is that whole Crossing the Line ceremony, where they basically haze you all day and night until you either commit suicide, die or survive.

I woke up before the hazing started...


And FTR, I have never done this, was never in the Navy, and am a lowly pollywog.

You shouldn't have bad dreams about it, it was a lot of fun.

4. See? That's why I would have been HORRIBLE in the military
Hazing for me is not fun

I was in a non-hazing fraternity and still the "3 days no talking unless necesarry" which was mildly enforced and it still SUCKED

What good came out of that?

And what good would come out of me swimming in ice water, baked beans and cauliflower and then squatting and reciting the Japanese Alphabet?

6. That would have been me
I have no desire to inflict pain upon anyone

Well, unless I'm so fucked up out of my mind that I can't tell wrong from right...but that's another story

7. That reminds me of this "tweet."
