I can see the conversation at the dock…

Stevedore: “Uhh, boss? You know that brand new, nuclear submarine that was docked at pier 2?”
Dockmaster: “Yeah, what about it?”
Stevedore: “Well, we have a couple of options. It can now be either an extension of the pier…or…it can be our newest, artificial reef.”
Dockmaster: “What?!?!”
Phone rings
Stevedore: (answers phone) “Uhh, sir? Xi Jinping is on the phone. He wants to know how loading is going for the Zhou’s sea trials. He says he wants it at sea, ASAP.”
(Sound of ripe melon smashing as dockmaster’s head bounces off the deck)
