Academy Plans to Build Rickover Statue


Annapolis, MD (WTF). Admiral Hyman G. Rickover, known by his friends and family as "Admiral Rickover", died many years ago but his legacy still lives on at the Naval Academy. VADM Fowler, Academy Supe, announced plans to build a statue of Admiral Rickover next to Tecumseh. Although Rickover already has a building named in his honor, the Academy Supe wanted to add even more to the already ridiculously overblown Admiral's legacy.
"I didn't like the idea of Tecumseh being the God of 2.0," explained VADM Fowler. "I wanted a God of 4.0 to recognize that 2.0 and 3.0 aren't good enough for USNA. Al Qaeda doesn't respect C students."


Some alumni were ecstatic. Former nuke and current president of Rickover's Nuclear Power League (Rickover's Nipple for short), Commander Cedric Forthright was ecstatic. Beaming with his coke bottle glasses and Star Trek reunion t-shirt, Forthright added "this is the happiest day of my life...except for when the space craft landed on Mars."

Other alumni were not impressed. "This is the dumbest thing I've heard since Rodney Rump changed the words to Blue & Gold," said retired Navy Captain Jethro Spivey of Savannah, GA.
