Quick quiz: which of these are really great homemade?
a) fresh peach ice cream
b) blueberry pie
c) buttermilk biscuits
d) submarines
Exactly. Not the subs. Submarines just seem better when they’re made in a shipyard, not some bozo’s hobby shop. Yet despite my warnings in posts like Gosh, this sub really dives fast!, there is now a whole frickin’ FLEET of homemade subs smuggling cocaine from Colombia. They found nine last year alone!
I’m talking to you recent college grads now. No matter how glamorous a career in the Homemade Submarine Service may sound, don’t go for it. If you’re gonna be submerged for weeks at a time, you want a better propulsion system than just shouting “Go-Go-Gadget,” don’t you?
