For more than a hundred years, the US Navy has visited Colombian beaches and ports, such as Cartagena. Now, when a lonely sailor with US dollars in his pockets meets a poor but beautiful local girl, it's no wonder sparks are gonna fly. Like in the Andrews Sisters' song :
Drinkin' rhum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar
Since the Yankee come to Trinidad
They got the young girls all goin' mad
Young girls say they treat 'em nice
Make Trinidad like paradise
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar
Since the Yankee come to Trinidad
They got the young girls all goin' mad
Young girls say they treat 'em nice
Make Trinidad like paradise
Right now in Colombia, or along other Latin american coastlines, you just might encounter one of the US Navy's hereditary legacies : Usnavy Ramirez or Usnavy Hernandez or Usnavy Santos...
this is amazing knowledge. thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAfter two port visits to Cartegena during my Navy days, I am 100% sure there are no Usnavy Sharks running around.
ReplyDeleteOn a somewhat related note, my sister is in Vietnam right now, where the Navy sent my dad during the war. So far, no Usnavy Shark half-siblings sighted over there, either.
I guess the Navy men in my family are either remarkably virtuous Sailors, or devastatingly unattractive.
