They don’t care if something is off, besides it’s their break and they need to check their phones.

Must be a place for managing milt.
Definitions from Oxford
milt
/milt/
noun
noun: milt
the semen of a male fish.
a sperm-filled reproductive gland of a male fish.
plural noun: milts

And as such, I suppose Schmitt can legitimately gripe that diversity of gender would be pointless.

A facility that made fish semen would be a "miltery," would it not?

are the examples I was thinking of, not that I am trying to mitigate the idiocy of Senator Schmitt and his staff.
I was just having fun with mockery.

The guy is a total douchenozzle. I'm embarrassed to say he "represents" my state.

Wait, no, that's not quite right. How about a compromise? "Miltary" doesn't have two eyes.
