   It is truly said in the Naval fighter community, that there are 3 things   
   that comprise the ultimate in a physical sensation a Naval aviator can   
   experience in life; a good landing, an orgasm, and a good shit. A night   
   landing on a carrier is the one event that allows you to experience all   
   three at the same time.
