Crikey....up periscope on those bikinis!

Feminists are calling for action to be taken after an Australian Navy submarine commander suggested that women sailors in bikinis would help boost recruitment.

An Australian submarine skipper has come up with a foolproof way to get young men to enlist in the Navy - changing the uniform for female sailors to bikinis.
Commander Tom Phillips also joked in an interview that the submariner equivalent of the notorious "mile-high club" for people having sex in aircraft was the "going-down club."

Asked by Ralph magazine "if female sailors all had to be hot and had to wear bikinis, would that help recruitment?" Phillips responded: "It would certainly get . . . young men in."
Minister for Defense Personnel Warren Snowden said the comments were "utterly unacceptable," predicting Phillips would have "one of the shortest careers in naval history."
But Rear Adm. David Thomas said Phillips had been asked a "flippant question," adding that his response was not intended to be serious."
Australia's navy is suffering a recruitment crisis.

"You'll never look at, or reach into, an airline seat-back pocket the same after reading this.Besides being a repository for magazines, newspapers, books, iPods and air-sickness bags, seatback pockets get stuffed with all kinds of disgusting trash, from toenail clippings to mushy meals.

People do things on airplanes that they would never do in other public settings. They pluck eyebrows, polish nails and pick noses. They stick chewed gum in places only other passengers will discover. They blow noses into blankets that get folded up for the next weary traveler. They prop bare feet up on bulkheads and seats. Sometimes they even engage in sex acts." The Middle Seat - WSJ.com:
