We had a Lt Commander on my first ship that was out Engineering Officer. He had a college degree, but it was in geology. What that actually had to do with engineering we never figured out......but what we alldid know was that the man was dumb as the rocks he studied.....

The MMOW's response was basically 'Yes Sir", and he pulled the shutdown on the generator.
