Many years ago when I was on a ballistic missile sub I told my wife, you wrap your self in bacon, then tin foil, and lay in the bath tub. She asked “will that save me?” I said no but when you get to heaven you’ll smell good. Sub sailor humor I suppose.

Despite the reality of such a nuclear attack, the United States remains largely unprepared.

Find a school desk and crawl under it.

P-39s. I have several P-51s, as well. They’re larger.

Yeah and don’t try to open a can of spam with an M1. It’ll open it but it’s hard on the contents.

Back in day, in Kansas, we’d have “tornado drills.” We’d go out in the halls and put our heads against the walls and our buts in the air, and cover our heads. Take advantage of that little pocket that would, with any luck, remain after a tornado or Rooskie nuke took out the building.
