Aide: "It's the 50th state, in the Pacific Ocean, sir"
T: " I know more about oceans than anyone who ever lived, and the Pacific is the biggest, that't what people are saying, not everybody knows that"
Aide: "get me my detailer, and tell him I'll take the demotion and transfer to Thule AB, fuck it, I'll pay for my own ticket, at least I won't have to deal with this moron"

not many people know that
Blame it on Obama?
Aren't sand traps on courses called "bunkers"? I could see the SS putting him 6 feet under just to be sure he would be protected from fallout.
Maybe borrow a bulldozer, to be absolutely sure he stays safe
Hard Stuff
Even Uncle Billy didn't do that to Georgia during his "Barn Burner" of a tour in '64.
Those tarheels must be downright ornery to warrant that kind of ordinance.
