Laptop problems

A few years ago I spent 2 weeks in a French navy diesel sub. The No2 was v proud of the fact that they had a laptop for analysing some of the data they'd gathered. However after a about four days spent creeping around at slow speed, completely submerged, the condensation levels got very high - ie almost raining. The lap top screen was covered in condensation and required drying before switch on. As I came into the wardroom (more like a wardrobe) there was No2 wielding a hairdryer to remove the damp. I then noticed that was actually an electric paint stripper!! "Attention no. deux attention!" "Pas de problem" says he. Someone then shouted from the ops room for a decision from him "Um Um". In those couple of seconds inattention screen melts over the keyboard! "Merde!!!!!" Captain not amused.
I retreat to my bunk among the torpedoes, giggling.
