Why would I ask those questions of the sailors in the Navy? I believe the word 'sailor' originated when boat rides were taken 'under sail'. -------------------------------------------- It did, but regular Navy personnel are still called "sailors" by tradition. When a ship leaves port it either "gets underway" or "sails", regardless of whether it is the USS Constitution or a nuke powered carrier. And, did you figure out where the confusion with your slide was? Does that pistol need some work? Salmonbait -- "That's not a baby kicking, dear Bride, it's just a fetus!"
