Subliminal message: this is light hearted
My wife's friend's*husband is taking classes for a second captains license. He already has what is called a six pack classification. So in conversation with her friend my*wife ask if any of*this new*course involved boats and water. The answer was no it was pretty much the same as the first course all classroom and books. So my wife who isn't burdened with contemplating the meaning of life*and/or did Hitler exhibit homosexual tendencies as a teenager*quipped "Bookworm Captain".

*She thought a person with a mix of boating experience and classroom training might make a better captain. (like some THTers) But had to*promise not to mention*Bookworm Captain to the husband. Now when I heard it the first image that came to mind was the Bookworm in the WB cartoons at the helm.

I haven't seen a whole lot of macho redneck bookworms in my day.
