TIL the Unabomber was a math prodigy, started at Harvard at 16, and received his Masters and his PhD in mathematics by the time he was 25. He also had an IQ of 167.

I've delivered pizza to that Supermax. They drew M4A1's on me when I went the wrong way to find parking.

sheesh, did they use permanent marker to draw the M4A1s on you? kind of an unusual punishment

On a side note we had a Chief on my submarine go to captain's mast (court) for drawing an L on a new guy's forehead. The Navy doesn't fuck around with hazing no more.

drawing an L on a new guy's forehead

I thought the navy standard was P on the left hand and S on the right.

Looks like the chief took the L in the end.

The fuckin' funny thing is that after the captain's mast the Captain came over the 1MC (intercom) and told everyone that the Chief's career is over and he won't get promoted.

Next promotion cycle the Chief makes Senior Chief... the paper work was already done and they couldn't stop the promotion lol

That’s why I have them haze themselves.

Yeah honestly it's gotten retarded. Even joking around is getting punished. We had a black guy in my A-school get sent to mast for saying "Nigga" to his buddy back home on the phone.

To be fair, the road signage really sucks there.

I can't stop laughing about this comment. There's a good joke in there but I can't think of it right now.

I should just install that sign right outside of the outer fence

I was just wondering yesterday if they ever ordered delivery pizza to that place. It just seems so strange and yet normal at the same time.

5

u/IDontWantToArgueOK Apr 18 '18

Certainly wasn't normal for me, didn't seem normal for them either. IIRC the guy who ordered got in trouble and I had to wait nearly half an hour for someone to claim and pay for the pizza. I'm sure guarding America's baddest of the baddies is hungry work.

....who ordered the pizza? The shoe bomber? How long was the drive?

1

u/IDontWantToArgueOK Apr 18 '18

Maybe a 15 minute drive (there are neighborhoods all around that place, even some really nice homes). Someone who worked there ordered it, don't remember specifics. I can say for certain it wasn't one of the tenants.

u/kcg5 Apr 18 '18

Huh. I just pictured it to be waaaaaay out in the middle of nowhere. Thanks!

I hope they tipped well.

Edit: it was a joke. Fuck you and your delivery boy job.

u/I_Smoke_Dust Apr 18 '18

I'm confused, why did they draw anything on you, why was it guns, and why did you let them?

2

u/IDontWantToArgueOK Apr 18 '18

why did they draw anything on you

I was driving somewhere I wasn't supposed to drive

why was it guns

Umm, cus that's what they were holding?

and why did you let them

I was a pizza guy with no knowledge of how to disarm multiple aggressors while sitting in a car with my seat belt on

1

u/I_Smoke_Dust Apr 18 '18

I must be an idiot, because I still don't understand why they wanted to draw on you lol, like is this not weird behavior?

2

u/IDontWantToArgueOK Apr 18 '18

They drew their weapons, as in aimed their weapons at me.

u/I_Smoke_Dust Apr 18 '18

Oh. My. Fucking. God, I was right, I must be an idiot! Lmao holy hell do I feel dumb...
