"Uh, yeah, Central, this is Officer O'Neill calling. I am here in Buttermilk Channel on the Queen Mary 2 and there's a guy over here in some type of wooden submarine approaching the ship. It's round. It's round. The wooden sub is round." "Hmmm, 'Officer O"Neill' is it? Now, just where are you?" "On the Queen Mary 2, in Buttermilk Channel. And the wooden sub's getting closer. What action should I take central?" "Well, 'Officer O'Neil," why don't you just stay right where you are, and we'll have some real police over there in a few moments to arrest you for public intoxication and criminal possession of a stolen police radio, OK." There is so much about this story which is "richly flavorful," isn't there? Buttermilk Channel. How can a place in NY Harbor ever have a more old school name? Now we'll see if the Brooklyn DA is at all old school himself. Surely there's got to be some leniency for a guy in a home made wooden sub, don't you think?
