For years he thought the girly parts were all called: Mattel
Many years ago I was packing a Christmas box for hubby that was on a Sub over the holidays.
For those that do not know Bubble Heads, they are a different breed of men, smart and have a strange sense of humor.
I found a few little windup robots that could walk down the floors and desk tops and as a last present I found a small Teddy bear with a wind up music box that played Rock A By Baby..
When he returned from Patrol I asked where the bear was. Whale shit he said.
Seems he for the first few days carried the bear in his Poopie Suit, he often had long conversations with the bear and the crew mates got up to no good by one day kidnapping the bear. The Ransom for the bear was never told to me, but from what I heard he searched everywhere on the boat for his Buddy.
Occasionally some one would wind up the bear and play the music over the intercom and sent him into another part of the boat to rescue his Pal.
My self I believe the skipper had the bear and used it to keep up moral. Hard to be on the Blue Crew that meant being out over the important holidays from November to February.
Seems he finally found his bear stuffed somewhere and refused to let go of it. Then the dreaded announcement over the intercom, ###### bring your bear to the bridge, some kind of court marshal took place and bear was deemed to be a spy and sentenced to be blown out the torpedo tubes.
These bubble heads NEED some kind of distraction, a funeral was held and the bear went out playing its heart out.
He often wondered if a Russian fast attack picked up the music on their radios and what they thought was going on.
