Ah, Vice Admiral, thank you. Written by Barb JA (9/19/2010 9:22 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, You can be a Vice Admiral, penned by Nina RG

You can see that I don't know my navy terms.

The levels 1 and 2 make sense to me.

I guess I still will be confused about Mary not being coarse. If Mary had intended a homosexual joke, it seems to me that it must have gone over Edmund's head, as it did mine : )
