Floating armored something something

[muck_a_luck]

Last night, we were trying to remember what Magnum did in Vietnam. Husband thought he was one of those river boat guys. He was trying to remember what those boats were called. He was thinking fast boats, and in my head I thought, that must be an acronym. Wonder what? Hmmmm. Floating.... Armored.... Something.... Transport.... Somethingsomethingsomething hmmmmmmm river transport? floating armored river transport?FARHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Yes. Now you have been inside my head. It's not a pretty place.

Even funnier. I told AG33 about it and he did exactly what I did. "That's not FAST, that's FARHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" I literally cried laughing in the car. THEN, he started chanting, at the top of his lungs FART FART FART FART!!! I was just about to drop him off at school. I made him promise me that he would not go down into the courtyard yelling FART FART FART FART at the top of his lungs.

And no. I have not bothered to click over to Webcrwaler and do a search and find out the real name? Why do you ask?

Swiftboats, I think. You can google John Kerry -- it's what he did in Vietnam.

Thanks! :D Husband kept saying John Kerry, too. Did I go look them up? Nooooooo.

Because the point was not the boats... :D

The U.S. Navy designation for "Swiftboats" is PCF for "Patrol Craft Fast", differentiating these 50' aluminum craft from the slightly smaller fiberglass-hulled PBR "Patrol Boat River".

The real name has nothing to do with the Byzantine meanderings of your mind, I know, but I feel obligated to provide you new information to pervert broaden your horizons.
