I tried to buy a submarine as a kid....

When I was about ten there was an ad to buy a submarine in a comic book that me and my friends read. My next door neighbor Chris Ginnochio had a pool so we assumed that we could put the submarine in there and practice driving it until we were good enough for the ocean.  
   My friends and I collected our money together and gave the entire amount to my mother.  We asked her to send away for this treasure, but never did see it.  We would ask her if it came every week,  until we forgot about it.  Below is the advertisement.  To this day, it still looks "Bitchin!"
