[Rhodes22-list] Special Message to Art, Elle, Mike W., et. al. re: Navy song

[Leland]

Art,

Based on statistics, Army is bound to win sometime, this century.

We had a small craft advisory yesterday so I thought I'd better take
advantage of it and go for a sail.  I've been in worse chop, but I was
amazed at how rough it was with so little wind (mostly less than 9 knots). 
It made for a fun ride but I noticed that the more I drank, the more I
spilled--must have been the waves.
