"Almost" is a very graduated word. Having served on a submarine, I learned that almost having your head above water is 10,000% different than having your head above water.
Also, being in the submarine with no water is markedly more conducive to sustaining life than being in the ocean, bobbing in the water as sharkbait.

Your ship that sinks on purpose analogy is more than a bit weak. When almost above water in a properly functioning sub you're still breathing air.

Nailer, when there is water flooding in the sub, and your head is almost above water, that means your head is below water.

This is somewhat how the Trump presidency is going. Trump thought being President meant he was in charge of the national business, when in reality it is all about herding cats.

People change when they get totally pissed off, or pissed on. Trump's campaign was very successful in getting people pissed off, and now those he duped are learning they are getting pissed on. Understanding prepositions, and their use, is a good thing. :-)

Good to know you were saved. Which sub were you in that sank, or is that still classified?

FWIW, when a sub is safely submerged you're head is below water too.

I could have sworn I did too, even so, welcome back Ike.
"Trolling for love?", now that is how Trump would have put it.

I doubt that Donald would know what it means, but If he did, "Trump trolling for trim" has a nice alliterative feeling, eh?
