And Admiral Rickover observed...

When he changed the long-standing U.S. Navy convention of naming submarines, from sea creatures to politicians and places, ADM Rickover observed "Fish don't vote."

So why do they go to school? :-) Howard C. Berkowitz 01:28, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Its not that they don't want to vote. It's just that most of them have extremely short memories and just forget to actually go out and do it. ;) Drew R. Smith 08:48, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
