I will pay ten dollars for the best McCain joke based on this. e.g,
"in addition to important historical artifacts, searchers also found a golf club belonging to John McCain."
Or how about, "experts say it is not true that John McCain was responsible for the sinking prior to his near-destruction of the USS Forrestal."
Stay the course: McCain to Ontario Master
McCain comment to press "We will remain in Lake Ontario for 200 years if need be!" comes back to haunt him.
"Divers recently found the wreck of the HMS Ontario, which sank during the American Revolutionary War in 1780. "
A. "In a statement, John McCain reflected sadly that he had many friends on both sides."
B. "The Ontario sank when John McCain, among the first pilots in the Royal Navy, crashed the experimental hot air balloon into the foremast."
C. "John McCain was delighted when Divers were able to recover his wallet."
