    ET3 Christopher Shepardpearson and his wife, Gina, share the traditional first kiss as the Los Angeles Class attack submarine USS Memphis returns to the U.S. Navy Submarine Base in Groton, Conn., on March 2, after a two-month deployment that was the attack submarine's final mission. The USS Memphis, commissioned in 1977, will be taken out of service in a formal de-commissioning ceremony at the Groton base on April 1.

    An Egyptian civilian kisses an Army soldier after troops took position at major junctions in central Cairo on January 29, 2011. Thousands of anti-regime demonstrators continue to pour onto Cairo's streets, demanding President Hosni Mubarak stand down the day after the veteran leader ordered the Army to tackle the deadly protests.

    Fishermen drink and watch a newly married couple kiss on a bank of the Yenisei River in Divnogorsk, a town 24 miles to the south of the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk, August 13, 2010. Local couples traditionally visit the river bank in Divnogorsk on their wedding day.

    Fishing for a reaction?

    I wonder what the fisherman is thinking.

    "I'll bet he's here drinkng and fishing in twenty years", that's what I think he's thinking. Ribbit.
