For all you landlubbers out there, foghorns are generally put on bouys and lighthouses so people won’t run into them in the fog.

However, we (USCG) once had to mount a massive Marco Polo rescue effort because some guy got himself lost in the fog with his secretary’s daughter. Put out a call to all the fishermen in the area and we each took turns blowing our horns until the guy heard one. Secretary’s daughter was pissed because she was royally seasick and apparently didn’t get any action. So maybe it is a good euphemism, after all…

Heh! I had to check the comments to see if “foghorns of the ships looking for port” was a euphemism.

Good to see I’m not as out of the loop as I thought.

I know it’s sort of repetitive at this point, but I’m just going to add and say I’m glad my immediate assumptions after the word “vibrate” weren’t caused by Teenage Gutter Mind Syndrome.

these comments remind me of the game where people take turns saying “penis” louder and louder until someone just shouts it.

well, that would be some gigantic magic wand/pearl/rabbit whatever if the vibration traveled that far. your neighbor would probably be wounded.

Imagine if “it” actually did sound like a foghorn!

Oh, gawd. If only you had a balcony overlooking the bay where you could also WATCH the ships maneuver the port.
