Steve -
Back in another life I used to serve on submarines. In those days virtually
all of us smoked. Anyhow, prior to coming back into port after being
underwater for a few months, we used to cleanup the ship. What I remember
most was our white missile tubes in the Missile Compartment, they were
Yellowish-Brown. As the missile tubes were wiped down with wet sponges,
there would be big white streaks on the Yellowish-Brown tubes as the tar and
nicotine was wiped off. If we only knew then what we know now.
Now, I'm proud to be an ex-smoker for over 25 years, and for all you
Technetters that like to take a big healthy drag on your cancer sticks,
you'll be in my prayers.
