Thank you We sneak and here's your shmoop du jour

00:05

brought to you by saltwater You'll see plenty of it

00:08

any time you go saline All right we're skimming The

00:32

author mentions that navigational technique called equal altitudes in the

00:37

third paragraph Tio what And here the potential answers them

00:41

play navigate illustrate are equal altitude sounds like a new

00:46

sitcom on tvs Couple of commercial airline pilots who are

00:50

polar opposites are forced to get along in equal altitude

00:54

Anyway our narrator utters this phrase and now we have

00:56

to figure out what his purpose wass for doing so

00:59

We assume he didn't just let the words fall out

01:01

of his mouth for no reason Although if you never

01:03

accompanied with general party well nothing happened All right Was

01:07

it a to show how navigation was taught toe amateur

01:10

navigators Well this guy has certainly had enough experience dealing

01:13

with amateur navigators hasn't Yeah No According to our narrator

01:17

the narrator in question was pretty much a bumbling idiot

01:19

and never should have been using this method in the

01:21

first place No it shouldn't be taught to anyone except

01:25

possibly as a cautionary tale So take a hike today

01:28

Next up option b was he explaining that navigation used

01:31

to be an inexact science Only that it was in

01:34

exactly the way that moron was doing it No Our

01:37

narrator doesn't tell us anything about how advanced the science

01:40

of navigation was at the time In general just that

01:43

equal altitude was not the way to go All right

01:45

then let's take c for a spin Was he illustrating

01:48

the great distances that the snark traveled on her Cruz

01:52

Well the distance traveled might have been longer after they

01:54

decided to take the scenic route but either way they

01:58

were in the midst of a pretty lengthy voyage when

02:00

it comes down to it are narrator seems much more

02:02

concerned with conveying the ineptitude of his underlings and he

02:05

is talking about know much of anything else which brings

02:09

us to choice deep he was demonstrating that the captains

02:12

of the snark blacked competence on the nosey Our narrator

02:16

is kati as all get out and isn't above gossiping

02:19

or ratting people out for being intellectually challenged If he

02:22

worked in an office he'd be the guy hanging out

02:24

in the break room telling anyone who will listen that

02:26

a monkey could learn to put together a powerpoint presentation

02:29

more coherent than brenda's So anyway these are answer as

02:32

in dead to rights also coming to tbs this fall

02:36

a delightful comedy about a supreme court judge and the 00:02:38.855 --> [endTime] grim reaper who happen to be roommates
