#6: Submarine Humor

Submarine crews live by an unspoken code: expect payback if you mess with someone. Pranks are a way of life, and clever revenge is an art. One legendary story involves a stolen Snickers bar and a patient chief petty officer. Instead of lashing out, he bided his time.

Each week, he secretly trimmed a little off the thief’s belt. Slowly but surely, the thief began to think he was losing weight. Confused and oddly proud, he never suspected a thing. It’s a perfect example of submarine humor—creative, calculated, and always delivered with a straight face.
