Admitting that one of their pilots drew a penis in the sky for a joke, the US Navy has said its best pilot has been ordered to Washington State to turn the offensive sky drawing into something else.

“Fortunately, in addition to being an exceptional pilot, the officer in question also worked in a tattoo parlor once so has experience correcting regrettable decisions.”

Initial plans by US Navy officers onsite envisage turning the crude depicting of a cock and balls into some kind of vaguely pilgrimish figure wearing a hat and spectacles.

“Obviously, unlike in our drawings, the new lines will also be white, thereby more effectively hiding the male genitalia within the larger sketch.”

They hope to have the task completed before civilian pranksters can get up there and draw a vagina, mouth, or butt to make the image even more offensive.

“That would be most unfortunate.”
