The little island kingdom prided itself on its sea power, and built a prodigious navy in order to protect its waters. After expending their own resources to build them, they took to conquering and colonizing new lands to procure more lumber and supplies to expand the ever-growing fleet.
The empire had built so many ships that eventually they ran out of names for them all. One day a captain came into the shipwright’s office to hear the name of his new vessel.
“How do you feel about the HMS Ambivalent?” She asked.
“I’m of two minds about it,” he replied.
