I'm feeling very stupid Written by Erica (9/20/2010 9:45 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Rears and Vices, penned by Bridget D

because it never even occured to me that Mary's pun could refer to that - I had always thought the vices she referred to were various general vices, and that the reference to "rears" was simply Mary's way of saying that she thought the admirals were buttheads, as in, "Admiral soandso is a horse's rear-end."
