Seaman Mohamed Halabi, who was born in Morocco and immigrated to the US in 1993 when he was seven years old, claims the “pussy market is like the 2008 recession right now, and I’m Lehman Brothers," he told reporters.

“It was hard enough being a teenager in New York after September 11th,” said Halabi, who cited the lack of sex as the main reason he joined the Navy.
