Young Sailors in Drag

Was reading an article about the recent Navy commander firing and this paragraph made me spit up my tea.

Other former Navy officers acknowledged that ribald humor, similar in nature to the sexual innuendo in Honors's videos, is a storied part of Navy tradition. For decades ships have held elaborate "Shellback" ceremonies for sailors making their first trip across the equator. These rituals typically have involved young sailors in drag and licking grape jelly from the belly button of a fat sailor who is dressed in an oversize diaper.

Is there anything gayer than the Military?... The WWF perhaps? The NFL?

It's depicted and touched upon in SOUTH PACIFIC. Sailors and fraternities all across the country engage in drag revelry all the time.

Not the "military", perhaps. But the Navy is definitely the gayest of the armed forces. The Village People even sang about it.

Boxing. Two guys in nothing but their shorts beating each other to a pulp to win a purse and a belt.

That Ultimate Cage Fighting, or whatever it is called. Every time I've seen it it seems they spend more time trying to wrap around each other and hump their brains out than actually hitting each other.
