One of the campaign slogans for the US Navy, supposedly your life is boring, go on a boating adventure. A commercial that makes you think for a few seconds, reflect on your life, wonder if you did anything worthwhile, or are embarrassed at how little you've done with your time. All-nighter coding doesn't match up to some of what you see in the commercials involving helicopters and parachutes and powerboats.

The Navy knows how to advertise, because it makes you suddenly ambitious, of course as you're thinking about this, you see images of adventure on the TV screen, in front of you.

The phrase is, however, insightful, and a great thing to say in the chatterbox, gets a plethora of answers.

You do know what a plethora is, don't you? or do you just upvote me for my articulateness? Flattering.
