The Admiral's response and handling of it is classic. Just another day in the life of dealing with Congress I guess. I get a kick out of the staff sitting behind the Admiral and watching them fidget, like you can tell they are trying not to laugh.

Of course if they did sail over the edge they would get to see the Great A'Tuin. That would be a bit of consolation.
