Mmmmm....submarines...tasty *Five....Five Dollar....Five Doolar Foot-Looooong*
...thanks for making me hungry guys. :P

Huh? Hmmmm. Not in the water but under it? I don't know. Sounds like a trick question. I give up. Does it have gills? Is it a living thing or a famous person? Something you use every day?
