At the change of command ceremony, it was threatening to rain. We were all in our dress whites, which are polyester. And when they get wet, they turn translucent.

Which, for some reason known only to God, prompted me to speak out loud, "Now we get to see who's freeballin' or wearin' skivvies!"

I suppose I must have hit a nerve, because *everyone* in front of me started to shift uncomfortably. And one of my shipmates turned to me and said, "Alright...time for you to retire, you've been in the Navy WAY too long."

Feh.
