   about the U.S. military installation in Guam, Johnson said to Admiral

   the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over   
   and capsize", to which Willard replied, "We don't anticipate that." The   
   next day, Johnson's office said that he was tremendously deadpan and had   
   used a facetious metaphor to draw attention to the potential negative   
   impact of adding 8,000 Marines and dependents to an island of 180,000   
   people.  Maybe.
