By the time they are delivered we will all be gone and they will be so far out of date most likely will go straight to a museum.

There’s one thing you will never hear supposedly, and that is a diver. Calling his rubber feet extensions flippers. A professional diver will always call them fins. So if you want to upset one just tell him to go and put his flippers on and swim away. JS

I did hear Cappy say the big nose reminds him of a leg of sorts.
