To be fair, sometimes a press deadline is just unreasonable. My dad was called for comment on a recent corporate acquisition. At the time, he was driving to another province to pick up my older sister who had three days' notice to head back home to fill a spot in a classroom. She was on a waiting list and their vehicle even broke down during the trip. This was during the age of car phones, but airtime was so costly, we never used ours. The newspaper made it seem like he didn't want to comment.

Sometimes life just happens at an inconvenient time.

I was about to buy some asparagus that were labeled as the product of Mexico (hey, protectionism isn't a solitary action). Some employee helpfully left them in the shipping box, which was labeled "Distributed by..." some place in the US of A.

Yes, this old news is about a nuclear-powered attack submarine, not necessarily a submarine that can nuclear-attack.
