Had to convince a new employee, who was injured in "IraQ 1," now working for us, that I have never been in the military.
It has actually become a long story in a short time between he and I, but I am just trying my best to get other people to do their best. I told him I would bury the soft parts of his throat and stomach far away from his arms and legs, if he called me "Colonel" again.
He knows I was kidding, but I made my point quite well.
His humour is astounding! He gave me a demotion, by three ranks. I am now his Captain. I really like the guy.
